Kind of an "Ice Skateboard"....cool...
I like this picture...and it got me thinking as it is a "rustic" shot of olden days...but the sky has not always looked the same to humans down through the ages...but...the STARS are the same stars, though some went SN, but might not have been visible before that anyway...the MOON, is the same Moon... Everyone who ever looked up and had a chance to see... saw the same Moon, and Stars, even some of the same Comets...if not exactly the same pole star or constellations as we do, being in slightly different positions...and this image invoked that thought... AMAZES me...
5000b.c. Rigel is a-kilter...but it is still Rigel...whatever they called it... I wonder if the Witch Nebula would be nearby, or did Rigel wander more or less near it???
Thought provoking....
