I recently noticed that the default background for Ubuntu 23.04 "Lunar Lobster" has a purple star missing and now that i noticed it, i can't unsee it. The one towards the bottom right is barely visible so that passes.

Edit: So apparently what i first wrote up can be summarized as "Asterisms are more relevant and sensible than constellations"..

original commentEspecially nowadays with light pollution it's easy to tell which constellations make sense, the top ones in the northern sky IMO being: Cassiopeia, Ursa Major, Orion, Cygnus (really just the middle 4 stars), and Ursa Minor but mostly because that's got Polaris in it and it's the most important star.

Also fun anecdote: When i was a kid and didn't know any constellations other than orion, cassiopeia, and ursa major; i independently recognized the middle 4 stars of cygnus and called it the Pilot because it looks like the front view of a jet fighter, so how's THAT for being a sensible constellation!

Sure, but it’s still just some dudes playing join-the-dots in the sky. None of it means anything.
