I recently noticed that the default background for Ubuntu 23.04 “Lunar Lobster” has a purple star missing and now that i noticed it, i can’t unsee it. The one towards the bottom right is barely visible so that passes.
Gotta install the last star from snap, I bet.
Can confirm, sudo apt install firefox added a new star
There is a star there. It’s just so far away the light hasn’t reached the wallpaper yet.
It’s moving away from us so fast it blended in with the red background.
Literally unusable. 🤣
Yes but now fix the middle right tail intersection that is also starless.
If only there was some way to change it…
dual boot into a better distro
Debian solves that issue
debian 12 is so nice, been using it recently and i love it, just gotta find the time to convert my servers from ubuntu to debian when i get the chance
It might be available in Ubuntu Pro, with star support expanded to 10 billion years.
as much as I agree it, I like the little nod to the imperfections of real constellations
This lobster is stellar, not lunar. How do you even tolerate that?
That’s not great, at least it’s not an LTS release though so it might not be an issue for too long once they come out with the distro upgrade.
Also I’m thankful the immune to this issue being on Pop which has very nice default wallpapers, though I don’t actually use the default wallpapers.
This is why I prefer Linux Mint.
Wallpapers?
Wallpapers?
Most Ubuntu forks are about changing the wallpaper and other cosmetics.
Constellations aren’t even real lmao
Yes, they are.
There aren’t literal lines in space of course, but the concept is absolutely real.
Also like, people tend to draw roughly the same lines, at least for asterisms.
I can’t imagine many people, regardless of culture, would look at the northern cross or the big dipper and not draw almost exactly the same lines as everyone else.
Constellations in real life
Monster!
I totally get you bro

You think that’s annoying, this is what the Ancient Greeks decided was a scorpion in the sky.

This is somehow a ram.

Psilocybin was likely involved.

Aries wasn’t even a constellation until some Greeks decided it was. They attached it to the mythical ram in the golden fleece myth. It looks a little ram-like with the full milky way behind it, but it’s not much of a constellation.
For some reason astrology bullshit has taken over the entire internet when it comes to researching star signs. The story behind the ram is mentioned (copy pasted) everywhere but fails to tell how exactly Ptolomy made the connection.

That’s way more of a scorpion than some other constellations are their thing

Rotate it 90 degrees to the right
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Why? That doesn’t make it look more like a scorpion.

Is it really that weird? You can’t see half the stars these days, but it’s really not that much of a stretch:

Don’t forget that pre-electicity civilisations spent a lot of time looking up at the night sky. Any traveler had to learn how to use the stars to navigate, so if course they’d group stats together to create points of reference.

I’m not saying it’s useless. I’m just saying it doesn’t look like a scorpion.

I’ve heard that not having access to actual dark skies free of light pollution makes it a lot harder to see/understand how people could see figures in constellations, and that extremely faint light from other stars, nebulas, etc adds to the experience. Allegedly it makes Orion’s belt easier to see. I’ve never had access to a sky dark enough to test it in person, though.

Uh that one is a rare case of constellation actually look like what it’s supposed to be. It’s pretty easy to see the scorpion tail imo. Doesn’t have all the legs obviously but still close enough to consider it as one.

It looks like a hook.
