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

    Rather difficult indeed because of the pictures poor quality, especially the one with the actors.

    Also the pictures "star dots" do not match the eye's relative brightness specific to each star. In other words, the pictures "evens out" stars which do not "single out" as in the real world ... hence the extra difficulty to identify them.

    What immediately came to my mind is :

    1st picture (with the actors) : the Scorpion tail with Schaula and upsilon Sco on top of the Lady's head. Then we would have epsilon Sco on the right, and to the left on top of the Man's head epsilon and delta Sgr.

    2 nd picture : better quality, and in the bottom middle, a star pattern similar although not identical (if close to the Ecliptic : one extra planet ?) to the Northern Crown (Corona borealis);

    My best guess,

    I'll be happy to discover your own solution.

    Thanks anyway, Frank

    Kermit
