For starters, the Orion constellation...

For starters, the Orion constellation would not look like the
Orion
constellation from another POV, say, 30 light years from here.
Another
cluster of stars might *look* the same, or similar, but anyone
expecting to
see the constellations as we recognize them from here is going to
be
disappointed.

As far as I know, from what Ron's said re: constellations,
while it may
look like Orion, it isn't. It's perception, the mind looking for
patterns it
recognizes.
