What is even funnier is that none of you have picked up on the fact that 'Scientists' don't discover constellations!

Astronomers and Astrologers make them up out of already known stars.

I was expecting someone to point that out. But that's good coz that means you saw the humour, not the accuracy!

Maybe so, but surely they come up with those unmemorable Latin names for them.

Sidius Bardus --- The "boring" Constellation
Pullus Major --- The Great Chook
Arci Aurei --- The Golden Arches

Couldn't find latin for "cowboy", but how about:
Petasus Major --- The Great Hat

Excellent Steve,

But you got one wrong!

The 'Golden Arches' is --- 'Arci McDonaldus'
