with the exception of Orion, the images of the constellations on the roof are
reversed. And there is an Australian connection there as well.

Gary,

Thanks for that interesting bit of trivia...I did not know it. I pass through a small portion of the main terminal building so only get a quick glance but have always felt that it was somehow wrong. I've shrugged it off to my being tired from the trip (in or out) but as I read your link the light bulb went off. It is wonderful as art!

Thanks so much for sharing!
