    Also those other parts are a lot more visible when there’s no light pollution like 2500 years ago.

          How many long tailed bears were around in Ancient Greece? I saw a backwards interpretation that made more sense where the tail becomes the eye of the head.

          Here’s an actual photo of the night sky with all the minor stars. There’s nothing there that even squinting gives the appearance of a bear.
