Patterns in constellations
editConstellations are recognized not only by their patterns, but also by the bright stars in them. Is there any page that lists both the constellations and their prominent stars (or vice versa). I found individual stars and constellations lists, but not a page that has got both lists, maybe as a table. Jay 20:53, Sep 17, 2003 (UTC)
Miscellaneous early comments
edit(moved from article):
- A WikiProject aiming to provide a standardized template to all the articles of the constellations is being developed. Please visit WikiProject Constellations for more details.
Any idea what User:210.72.12.71 is doing with his warnfiles and why is User:Jiang reverting him. Jay 07:50, 7 Jan 2004 (UTC)
If somebody is interested, a great bunch of constellations mythological drawing are available within the GPL program stellarium. Also shots can be obtained using stellarium to provide nice visuals.

Ancient India
editIndian astronomy and easily sourced/researched Indian astronomers' contributions over many centuries are too many to have been entirely omitted in this WIKIPEDIA article about the subject.

- You could add such material, backed by references to Reliable Sources. At minimum, if you want this to go anywhere, you could suggest accessible sources for other editors to look at for material to add. Information does not get added by magic, it requires effort. -- Elphion (talk) 14:28, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
