I don’t know the answer, but it reminds me of when I found out that Orion’s Belt is not actually a straight line. The ~~planets~~ stars are really far away from each other. If your looking at it top down it would look more like a scatter plot but looking at it from the horizontal line they look straight and side by side.

Edit: I meant stars.

Orion’s Belt is made up of stars not planets.

I meant that. Early morning, brain not working.

I feel your “early morning brain no worky” pain. Hope you have a great day.
