The Moon map names hundreds of lunar features and Apollo landing sites.
All 88 constellations, regretfully. There are just some constellations that shouldn’t be! Fornax, the Furnace? Really? Is that the best they can do? How about Musca the house-fly? Why not a termite or dung beetle? And don’t get me started on Triangulum, the Triangle. Why don’t we just name every constellation The Triangle, or Box or maybe The Line. A lot easier to remember and say than Camelopardalis. “Hey son, there’s the constellation The Triangle! And over there, Mars is in the constellation The Triangle. Did ya see that neat star cluster in the Southern Triangle next to The Line?
