constellations phil I hate constellations. Well I shouldn't say I hate them, I mean they are good for navigation. The sky just looks better wihtout them. 030907 ... girl_jane I want to know all of them... 030907 ... Ursa Major well, the stars are in random order, totally. we just happen to be a connect-the-dots race of people, so we can't help but to make associations. The 1-d way in which we see them is an illusion, as two stars which seem close together are billions of light years apart. Orion is my favorite. 030908 ... pipedream i wish i knew them all too- but then for that i'd need a darker sky...not the diluted purple of the urban city, but real blackness where every star shines it own fantastic light, so close that it feels like God brought the heavens down a lttle lower just for you, and every star revealed itself in its entire shining glory. i have seen a sky like that, and i saw constellations without even being told. magic. 030908 ... jane painted on the ceiling of grand central on second glance you realize they are painted backwards...but they aren't backwards at all...they were painted to be correct as if they shone through the roof, looking in at the station... 030908 ... girl_jane Orion's always been my favorite too-he's always provided comfort for me in the winter...winter seems to be a crappy time for me. see: anti_freeze 030909 ... nom u_and_eye set apart with lines with dots stars time painted by number edged with names signatures of light so white i could swim in this milky way like a chocolate chip cookie the glass sky 030909 ... pipedream *clap clap* very good :) 030909 ... voodoo orion i_love_you always 050220 ... blown cherry They're just not aligned in a two dimensional plane, no matter how you look at it! The premise to the whole bloody show is so obviously fukt I don't understand how any self respecting sci-fi fan can be into it!! Obviously these are not the sort of people with whom I could discuss the finer points of some of the better episodes of star trek with. dislikes Stargate (the series) immensely 050221 what's it to you? who go blather from
