    Re: Stars in pop culture: two celestial where-are-you puzzles

    The circular pattern of stars in the lower image does look somewhat like Corona Borealis, as Antoine Couëtte has pointed out, but it’s a rather strange version of this constellation.  The most peculiar feature of the lower image is that it is almost bilaterally symmetrical. Many (but not all) of the stars on the left side of the image are also present with the same configuration on the right side of the image.  This “star field” may have been generated  with considerable assistance from a photo editing software.  As to how this image is related to the sad fate of USS Scorpion, I have no idea, other the fact that the stars in Scorpio’s tail also have a circular configuration.
