Thanks. I have a real life event to deal with now. I will update tommorrow.

hope its not a

All I can say about this entry is that it only seems to become readable at the very point when I don't think it has anything interesting to say.

I'm sorry if that sounds rude, but take a look at the mythology paragraph as an example. Why have a mythology section, with its own title, if there is nothing worth saying about its mythology?

I will move the mythology sentence and delete that section.

Please post again when you have updated

In the text you say:

NGC 1313 is a barred spiral galaxy 15mly away.

In the table you say it is 20mly.

Which is it?

it is 15. anything else

Isaac Habrecht (1589-1633) - I have heard of this person, and was curious enough to look up why. I find "An astronomical clock built by Isaac Habrecht in Strasbourg, Germany, in 1589" - which makes your D.O.B. for him a little off, wouldn't you say? Unless he was a very clever baby. My research finds his DOB and death: 1544 - 1620

It was actually his grandson who did it.
fillingthesky.com says he created nthe constellation rhombus in 1628.

Only God(s) can CREATE constellations IMO . Mere mortals can only envisage them.

Bearingb in mind GB' observation in post 52, and your reply, it might be worth just expanding what you say about Isaac Habrecht, e.g.

... the German astronomer, Isaac Habrecht (FOOTNOTE>The grandson of the clockmaker, Isaac Habrecht...

I will add the footnote.
As to the creation of constellations
God creates the stars in the constellations
just as God Created North America but a map of
North America with national boundaries is man made.
In the same way God created the stars but the I.A.U. created borders for constellations and
astronomers and cartographers created the patterns within those borders.
When one pattern is replaced by another a constellation has been created.

CHANGES ANYONE?
