In the original 1997 theatrical release, the night sky shown while Rose floats on the wooden door featured an inaccurate, mirrored star pattern. Famous astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson sent James Cameron a snarky email complaining that the stars did not match the actual historical sky of April 1912. Being a notorious perfectionist, Cameron demanded Tyson send him the correct star map. He then spent thousands of dollars to digitally alter the background sky specifically for the 2012 3D re-release just to fix this microscopic error.
