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.

      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.
