I taught college level astronomy for over 30 years, and I never saw a linear arrangement like this anywhere, no way, no how. Only the two in the lower right are misaligned, and that's not natural. Stars appear randomly in the sky, and are arrranged into conttellations by people, who see the patterns they want to see. (Anybody who thinks Capricorn looks like a sea goat, raise your hand.) Ordinarily, stars bright enough to be visible from earth (the only ones we'd ever make into constellations) don't arrange themselves like soldiers.

I agree with Arc2q, it's mainly an insult to a wonderful card.
