My to do list now includes "to see the southern cross in the night sky". I wonder why so many flags contain stars? (In the Indian flag also the wheel in the middle is from a sun temple in Konark.) Maybe we all know deep down that's where we come from. I remember some one saying on TV (carl sagan?) "We are all made up of the material of stars".

Stars were very important on 'coats of arms' distinguishing
one knight from another, on his shield, from the earliest
days. Probably a hang-on from then.

Looking through APOD, I came across this interesting story.... 'A new constellation has taken hold of the sky, much to the surprise of many sky gazers. The constellation of Ollie the Owl has suddenly started dominating the southern hemisphere'

APOD usually does something "strange" on 1 April, also on
the anniversary of their launching their site.
How well I remember that one.

I remember some one saying on TV (carl sagan?) "We are all made up of the material of stars". Carl Sagan is my hero. My sister was his secretary for a number of years, until her death in 1992. I never got to meet Carl.

I don't know of Carl Sagan, but I believe what he said is true.
