I'm looking at the constellation last night, and it looks twice as big as it did when I was younger, possible explanations:
i)We have travelled half the distance to it or away from it since then.
ii)The atmospheric shape has altered, again, and the curvature of the airspace molecular configurations created a lense bend causing illusionary expansion.
iii)Major technology industry replaced the starry sky with machine satellite grids and photovoltaic panelling and/or sheets on the outside, affectivrly absorbing all outer space light sources, and the ones we see now are artificially created satellites with controlled orbits, which are slightly askew of their space cartographic counterparts they are immitating.
iv)You are high on drugs and that is effecting my depth perception by proximity.
v)The drugs I took never really wore off.
vi)The movie The Matrix is not fiction and someone made it that way just for fun.
vii)The 'Eagle's Emminations' have for some reason caused slight indigestion resulting in bloating.
viii)Bears really are omnivorous, one managed to swallow the U, refer to answer vii.
ix)It is a giant life-blood ladel coming to scoop us up.
x)I could do this all day and I just dreamed up the whole thing and it isn't happening to anyone else.
xi)The Celestial temples of the Heavens melted and dispersed, but are trying really hard to go back to their original states and positions.
