Celeste had been slowly wandering amongst the telescopes as she left the students to explore the skies on their own, the astronomy professor pausing at Ms. Archard raised her question. “Some hev been adopted across cultures over th’ years, aye,” she answered, thinking on the best way to explain. “The big and little dippers, th’ Pleaides and th’ Southern Cross remain the same. Others like Orion, while reconigized, take oen different connections. Like instead of a hunter, th’ Indians view him as a king, the stars of the belt the arrow that pierced him. The ancient Egyptians view those three stars are seen as th’ resting place of the god Osiris.” So relatively the same as being of the same stars but not totally the same.

“Over th’ years, and more recent discoveries have been more standardized amongst the western cultures.” Like the North American countries mostly following suit with their european ancesters. “Most differences that exist still are because of the stars limited to either th’ northern or southern hemispheres with cultures that kept their own. Like the constellations of the Mayans and Aztecs still remaining.”
