	On each column is the ancient symbol of a colony as used on their respective old Colonial flags. Roslin notes that the symbols were used back when the ancient names of the Colonies were used: ''Aries'' instead of [[The Twelve Colonies of Kobol#Aerelon\|Aerelon]], ''Taurus'' for [[~~The Twelve Colonies of Kobol#~~Tauron\|Tauron]], ''Gemini'' for [[The Twelve Colonies of Kobol#Gemenon\|Gemenon]], and so on.

	Above the group, the night sky shows constellations, each representing a colony. In fact, Thrace realizes that, according to the scriptures, that they were all standing on a representation of Earth, seeing what their comrades on Earth would see. The map information, however, was incomplete without one more stellar reference that [[Lee Adama]] finds in the [[wikipedia:Scorpius\|Scorpius constellation]]: the [[Wikipedia:Lagoon Nebula\|Lagoon Nebula]], an object visible on Earth and known as well to the Twelve Colonies. Lee Adama deduces that as they approached this point, the ship would be able to further define their position to Earth. Commander Adama notes that the nebula was "a long way away from here" {{TRS\|Home, Part II}}.		Above the group, the night sky shows constellations, each representing a colony.
