At about 4:00, they're talking about a project which produces big beautiful images of the 88 official constellations.

I thought it included a multicultural survey of how people identified the constellations, but I misunderstood. There were 88 constellations identified in the 1920s, and that's it.
I think a multicultural survey would be a worthy topic for understanding perception. What causes people to identify a star grouping as a constellation? Are constellations consistent across cultures? Is there overlap in the symbols?)
Northern hemisphere people tend to not know about the southern constellations. They mention the Southern Cross, which is the only one I've heard of.
There's a Crosby, Stills, and Nash song called "Southern Cross".

Lyrics: https://genius.com/Crosby-stills-and-nash-southern-cross-lyrics
I've been thinking a lot lately about people being haunted by ideals. That twist at the end can be taken straight, which makes it kind of nasty, but maybe the woman he's trying to forget is up against the same thing.
Just musically, it's a good song.
