We tend to think of constelations in the night sky as those of the major zodiac, and then s few select others such as Orion or the southern cross.
But when you really study it, there are hundreds of constellations with names that have been carried down from at least roman and Greek times.
Look into these constelation names via wikipedia searches and you can get a facinatinv insight into ancient mythology, and find some of the lesser known myths and deities from these cultures
Eridanus for example was the first I just found, and is a constelation of the south. It symbolised s river to the Greeks with the same name, and also a river that souls traversed in the heavens.
Run these constelations through cooliris or google image seach and you start to get dome strange syncronistic and interesting image results, and they can be a great source of random noise.
I plan to make these searches more a feature of the content generation strategy for this site
