Constellation - Random Thoughts

Do you suppose that from some other Galaxy, our Sun is part of a Constellation that we don’t know about?
Discuss.

The sun seems so much larger than other stars. It just wouldn't fit in with the others.

It would actually be the opposite. Our sun is pretty small in comparison to most of the stars we can see. If you could see it at all, it would most likely just be a very small dot in the sky.

I can give you both a literal and figurative answer, lol. Literally, I've lived in Easley my entire life, and have been a dyed in the wool Clemson fan since I was born. And figuratively, I've been around TNet long enough to "know the ropes." But a serious question requires a serious answer, and I replied accordingly.

Perhaps looking at this from a different perspective would help. Why not bring this topic up again in six months when we can take a look from the other side.

Our sun is really small

And when you take into account all of the things that would need to be in place to harbor intelligent life, the planets that we know about that meet that criteria are too far away for our sun to be a part of any constellation they might have come up with.

I made a few calculations

and have determined that our sun is the “right kneecap” of the constellation “Garthok”…..which is clearly visible from France.
