Hi Folks -

Which is better "Red Shift" or "Starry Night" for ancient skies?

I don't know the technical difference between "constellation" and "asterism" except for one based on classical period constellations.
I would suppose that for people today the Big Dipper and Little Dipper are constellations.

Anyone one here work with Msyan astronomy?

E.P.
