Here's a photo of a "mockship" version of Elon Musk's Starship. SpaceX banged together this mockup for a press conference last year. There's a nice star field behind the rocket. Can you name the navigation stars visible in this view? I can see five, I think, and I suspect there is one more behind the rocket.
The image was used to illustrate a story today at spaceflightnow.com about the latest Starship iteration which has been test-fired with three rocket engines.
