Hi Scott,

That also has the advantage that every morning and afternoon of your commute
you can glance up at the ceiling of Grand Central and get your fix of stars.

Here is an article that appeared in the The Examiner in Sep 2009 as to why,
with the exception of Orion, the images of the constellations on the roof are
reversed. And there is an Australian connection there as well.
