I assume they are going with the Orion nebula for the closest one, and even skipping the nebulosity of Pleiades, the Helix Nebula is at 695 ly. Even if they are doing the Orion nebula its the wrong distance by about 100ly.

15/20 for myself. Still not exactly clued up on all the mythology of the constellations.
