I’m getting that another common speculation is that HPMOR!Voldemort has to ‘synchronize’ himself to all of his Horcruxes.
If so, what are the chances that part of the motivation of drawing Harry into the spell, is that he can synchronize himself to the plaque and Harry at the same time?
On the ‘starfield’ spell:
Are we seeing the stars from the perspective of the Voyager probe?
I often get this confused, but isn’t it supposed to be the Pioneer probe?
You’re right; it is.
This is a common speculation.

Incremental synchronizations are interesting—if Horcruxes can get out of sync, then the “soul” recovered from each may develop conflicting objectives.
In 1992, I think Voyager 2 was still closer to the sun than Pluto. Wouldn’t the sun still be the brightest star in the sky?
The spell hides current environment, except for a floor/ground “disk.” It could be oriented so that the sun is down and thus out of sight.
I thought that that would be where Earth was, but at that distance, you’re right; the Sun would make much more sense.
From Pluto, the sun looks like ‘the brightest star in the sky’, not like an actual solar body. Not sure about halfway point.
