    Which luminant objects are real and which are artistic license?

    Would not plate solving with each choice give different results.

    No guessing needed for Escher's stars. He had a love for astronomy that shows up in some of his works.

      These Escher pages don't scroll and are generally unusable. Is that some Chrome-only garbage?

        Cannot confirm because I am on Chrome. But it would be so sad if that website is Chrome only. I doubt it though.

        Can other browser users chime in.

        Works on mobile Safari for me. I’ve seen that scrolling issues are often caused by adblockers hiding cookie prompts, that need to be accepted to interact with the webpage.

    I've watched enough History channel to know that any random assorted of objects could be linked to some pattern of planets and stars still this is convincing.
