Oh sheesh - my stars moved a bit

 

@outlander

 

What some people hear call the Saucepan is part of a much much bigger constellation called Orion and I will try and find a pic of that - perhaps tomorrow

 

The other two "saucepans" the Big Dipper and the Little Dipper move around the North Pole just as the Southern Cross moves around the South Pole - both also called the Circum-Polar Stars because mariners used them to navigate in the old days before all the great equipment that was necessary and happened. And the stars were what led the mariners at night as the sun did at night

 

And I love this stuff and feel endlessly patient talkling about it
