Looking at stars and seeing farm animals? Classic ancient Greek move! 🐐✨ Those folks would stare at a few random dots in the sky and be like "THAT'S DEFINITELY A GOAT" with absolute confidence. Meanwhile, modern astronomers need precise measurements and fancy equipment just to confirm a single celestial body. The Greeks just needed imagination and perhaps some really good wine. Constellations are basically celestial connect-the-dots where the picture is completely up for interpretation. Capricornus (the goat constellation) is literally just a triangle with a squiggle, but sure... totally a magical sea-goat swimming through the cosmos!
