It was previously thought that this constellation moved around the night sky with no scientific explanation, until it was discovered that there's multiple identical ones out there, somehow. Astronomers call them shmonstellations.

For years, parts of the 'Shroom under this constellation's auspice would move at Mach Speed. It is rumored it may return one day to bless the 'Shroom with democracy once more.

Kersti
Voted the most disappointing constellation in the sky by astronomers seven years in a row, few other celestial sights will generate heated discussions as quickly.

Maze
An odd constellation of stars that seems to make a confusing shape. It's amazing if you're able to figure out a path through them!
Comet
It's said that this constellation was formed when a comet passed through this world on its path to another. Some feel particularly struck by its glow.
Hot Chocolate
A reminder of one of the best options for a wintertime beverage. I'd give this constellation a coziness rating of 
Uncle amiibo
Some people look at this constellation and are reminded of a world-roving robot with a penchant for plastic figurines. Others are reminded of seasons of celebration. Who's to say they're not both right?

Half-Baked Soft Pretzel
A specialty of a local 'Shroom bakery Auntie Anton's: a warm pretzel that comes in a variety of magical shapes!

An inquisitive mind may wonder what's hiding inside this shell. It's probably a turtle.
Strange Oracle
Ohohohoho! Hello, O stargazing reader! Your horoscope for today is you can connect stars in any way you like, and the space authorities can't do anything about it!
Rogue Boat
Boats like this one ferry excitable reporters to the docks of Rogueport. What happens after you land is an adventure of your own choosing!
Ice Storm
Staring at this constellation makes you feel a chilly breeze run across your face, regardless of season. Kind of... cool, really.
Hungry Luma
Give one of these gluttonous Lumas a few hundred star pieces to gobble up, and it might transform into a new galaxy. W-wait... what do you mean it's 'still hungry...'?
Megaleg

Comet Observatory
Observing a familiar observatory made of stars, you wonder, could it somehow be observing you in return?

Officially the longest constellation name in the entire night sky. This self-explanatory figure represents clairvoyance, wisdom, and enraged motherly spirits.
Grand Star
A star so giant, one could say it's grand. What will these 'creative' astronomers think of next!?

Mysteriously, these stars always adorn the very top of the night sky in December. Astronomers are perplexed by their repetitive, rhythmic blinking.

What's on TV today, or tomorrow? How about yesterday? There's hundreds of channels to watch!
Vending Machine
What could be inside? Poorly refrigerated soft drinks? Quips and one-liners? Invasive rodents? The possibilities are endless!

Each of this block's panels is said to represent a fun and whimsical adventure. Maybe that's why so many are drawn to it.
