Spock was EXAGGERATING once again, in that instance...
He was not about to get into an EMOTIONAL Conversation with Uhura,
(I wonder if Spock secretly loved her in the original timeline, based on what We know now...???...)
...expecially in front of the other crew that were present in that scene from TOS...
And there is precedent for this in the pre-Abrams continuity. In TNG, for example, there were apparently two different planets named Krios: the one that had been fighting for independence from the Klingons in "The Mind's Eye", and the one that had just ended a centuries-long war with Valt Minor in "The Perfect Mate". (Or at least, I don't see how a planet could have kept up their own war with some other planet while still being ruled by the Klingons.)
Actually, you've got that backwards now - the "moon" has no Vulcan.
delta vega summer and delta vega winter.
but as i just posted in another thread i wonder if nero did something to project the destruction so that spock could see it.
Where the heck is Delta Vega? (Spoiler Alert)
Sorry if this has been covered already, but unless Delta Vega is in the Vulcan System, how could Elder Spock possibly have seen the destruction of his homeworld.
As I understand it Delta Vega is near the great barrier is it not?
Explanation Please!
P.S Film is awsome, Seen it twice already, bizarrely second time was better.

It has to be close, but not too close, because otherwise the same thing would happened to that place as happened to Ceti Alpha 6.

Re: Where the heck is Delta Vega? (Spoiler Alert)
Book, "the Vulcan Academy Murders" specifically refers to a planet "T'Kuht" which is a big attraction cause it is so beautiful etc...
now i figure that based on somthing as memory alpha mentions vulcan:
"The planet is located "a little over" 16 light years from Earth. It has no moons, but appears to have close planetary companion."
Further more...
"The TOS episode "Where No Man Has Gone Before" depicted a planet named Delta Vega, located near the galactic barrier. Although the Delta Vega depicted in Star Trek is located in the Vulcan system, writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman named it after the planet in "Where No Man Has Gone Before". In an interview with TrekMovie.com, Orci said, "We moved the planet to suit our purposes. The familiarity of the name seemed more important as an Easter egg, than a new name with no importance."[1]
Perhaps not coincidentally, in "Where No Man Has Gone Before", Spock recommends that Captain Kirk maroon Gary Mitchell on Delta Vega; in the 2009 Star Trek film, Spock maroons Kirk on Delta Vega."

Re: Where the heck is Delta Vega? (Spoiler Alert)
How's this -
Delta Vega is just a nickname for "That place where we dump people who have become difficult to deal with".
Or maybe -
Due to changes in the timeline, the explorer who would have named Delta Vega in the original timeline doesn't receive his posting to the outer reaches of the galaxy, but instead joins a Vulcan survey team who after some consideration, for some reason or another decide to rename one of the planets in their system Delta Vega.
I dunno, I think I like the first one..

Re: Where the heck is Delta Vega? (Spoiler Alert)
Yeah, that's what bothered me about a lot of the so-called "Easter Eggs" in this movie—they were tossed in casually, even thoughtlessly, with no appreciation for context.
And name aside, it just makes no scientific sense for DV to be in Vulcan's system. How could you possibly be within naked-eye visual range of a black hole destroying your sister planet, yet experience no effects from that at all on DV itself?

Re: Where the heck is Delta Vega? (Spoiler Alert)
First off, black holes have same gravity as what they comsume, as long as you dont touch it your okay (the planet gets eaten because its own gravity pulls its mass into the black located in its core.
While there are gravitational fluctuations, even on the surface of the moon you are free from earth's gravity - we are talking a planet here.
And we don't stay on the planet long enough to learn of long term effects.

Whose to say it wont? It would probably take time for the difference in gravity to have an effect on other bodies within the star system.

Re: Where the heck is Delta Vega? (Spoiler Alert)
I don't know if there is actually a star we call Delta Vega, that would be my first question.
As I think about this a little.....it would appear that (now) Delta Vega is a planet in the Vulcan system. Any other reference from old trek, from the prime universe, would have been a reference to some kind of colony world with the Delta Vega name on it. I know its weak, but hey they are the ones who screwed with what was established....I'm just trying to make it work.

The whole thing would have made a lot more sense if Nero had kept Spock Prime in captivity on board the Narada to witness the destruction of Vulcan, then dumped him on the nearest inhabitable planet to live out his life alone. And if that planet hadn't been Delta Vega.

You're thinking of Delta Vega Omicron... Kirk and Old Spock were on Delta Vega Vulcanis.

Re: Where the heck is Delta Vega? (Spoiler Alert)
The movie is about as well thought out as an old Gold Key comic. Best not to worry about such things--like, say, a cadet becoming the captain of the Star Fleet's best and newest ship upon graduation.

Delta Vega was situated not in the Vulcan system, not at one of the LaGrange points of the Vulcan system, but rather in the LaPlot points of the Vulcan system.
