It's set in September. He said Orion, Swan, and Chariot Race, right?

There's no chariot race, but there is a charioteer.

Any idea what constellation Skinner was referring to when he said "That one's the Three Wise Men"? If I saw it, I could tell you, but I haven't seen that episode in... like... almost forever. It's Simpson Safari, Simpson Safari, Simpson Safari.

It's the one that looks like the Three Stooges.

Which is to say, it's a joke.

Are you serious?

If so, don't worry, it was just a joke.

In my opinion a really funny joke.

The whole idea that because it is a certain time of the year, and Bart should only see certain constellations in the sky, is irrelevant. Wizard, continuity gaffe, etc. Check the entry at www.imdb.com for the movie "Apollo 13". People pointed out so many errors in the movie related to the phase of the moon, etc., that were irrelevant, because the movie is a MOVIE, and not a DOCUMENTARY. If Bart saw a constellation that is only visible from Antarctica during a hiatus hernia of Jupiter and Venus, SO WHAT!

Now Aaron, are YOU serious? It was a joke... poking fun that constellations don't look like what there supposed to be. Skinner called it the "Chariot Race", implying many horses, chariots, charioteers, presumably a very detailed, glorious constellation. but it turns out to be only ONE lousy star. It wasn't supposed to be a real constellation, in either hemisphere.

I was under the impression that other people were taking it seriously, and I was trying to point out that that is a waste of time. Why do you think I used the term "hiatus hernia"?

Oh, all three of them ARE visible on a September morning.
