I recently noticed that the default background for Ubuntu 23.04 “Lunar Lobster” has a purple star missing and now that i noticed it, i can’t unsee it. The one towards the bottom right is barely visible so that passes.

You think that’s annoying, this is what the Ancient Greeks decided was a scorpion in the sky.

Psilocybin was likely involved.

I’m not saying it’s useless. I’m just saying it doesn’t look like a scorpion.

I’ve heard that not having access to actual dark skies free of light pollution makes it a lot harder to see/understand how people could see figures in constellations, and that extremely faint light from other stars, nebulas, etc adds to the experience. Allegedly it makes Orion’s belt easier to see. I’ve never had access to a sky dark enough to test it in person, though.

Uh that one is a rare case of constellation actually look like what it’s supposed to be. It’s pretty easy to see the scorpion tail imo. Doesn’t have all the legs obviously but still close enough to consider it as one.

Yes but now fix the middle right tail intersection that is also starless.

There is a star there. It’s just so far away the light hasn’t reached the wallpaper yet.

It’s moving away from us so fast it blended in with the red background.
