    Beautiful! I see a Scorpius-looking thing, and a Big-Dipper-looking thing ... probably totally different constellations, though.

    Very pretty. Thanks Torstan!

    Yes, the Chinese identified Scorpio as a Dragon. I don't know how much overlap there was -- ie how many of Scorpio's stars are in the Dragon and vice versa.
    It is interesting that the seemingly arbitrarily link stars are seen as a single unit by independent observers.
