Love this! I made a little digital thing along the same lines when I found a cool online database of constellations star positions/magnitudes, you can see it here: www.mjmtools.com/starGlobe/st...

Seeing it physically in real life would be a million times cooler, I wish I could see it!
View of the stars that make up Orion from the same perspective as we see it from Earth. "Buffer Distance" sets the minimum distance from "earth" to a large buffer, it makes the constellations show up better. The stars that make up Orion from a perspective very different from ours on Earth

Everyone says the creepy monsters from “Arcadian” were inspired by Goofy, but this has me leaning Biffo
Picture of the creepy and bizarre monsters from the movie “Arcadian”, they are like gangly alien bear dogs with gaping maws, human-like teeth and a decoy humanoid demon face pattern on top of their heads that they use to frighten and confuse their victims
