Phil, what kind of telescope do you use? I have a Meade ETX-90EC and a variety of lenses but I don't think I can see the things you hunt for. Sounds very interesting. While there may not be much physical significance in this, I do think there could be spiritual significance. Yes, the constellations and star names are man made but maybe God had a hand in it in some fashion. There was a book called, "The gospel in the stars " or something like that. Some food for thought, anyway: Another good article: Cygnus The second sidereal sidepiece in the constellation Aquarius is called Cygnus — the Swan of the Northern Cross. The constellation reveals a beautiful swan flying across the heavens, but the stars form the shape of a cross. It implies the message of… “going to and fro throughout the earth bearing the sign of the cross.” This represents carrying the Gospel message around the world. Jesus said, “Ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the Earth” (Acts 1:8). Here is another article that I found interesting: http://zodiactruth.com/the-big-picture/ I do agree, Phil, that it is not necessarily a sign but it could be food for thought. The heavens do indeed declare the glory of God. It all just speak of intelligent design! TR
