I really enjoyed Stephen James O'Meara's December '09 article in the Secret Sky column.  The author did a great job presenting a unique historical perspective of celestial interpretation relative to some very familiar night sky targets.  Very well done. Thank you!

I totally agree with you DC 869.  Mr. O'Meara's article was so timely and I truely will share and save this.  What a conversation piece for this coming season!  Also, I appreciate his input into other cultural and religeous beliefs and their depictions across the grand canvas of art displayed above us.  Place us all behind the same eyepiece-at the same spot-at the same time-and there would not be any more worldly conflicts.

I'm glad you liked the column, and I'll be sure to pass along your kind words to Steve.

Just got my Dec. issue of Astronomy yesterday and after reading Stephen James O'Meara's article I would like to echo the previous sentiments on an article very well done.  Excellent.
