Mystery?
 
While the pseudo Christains were crapping all over this newsgroup during the
Christmas season, I noticed this article in our local newspaper. Those
interested in astronomy might find it worthwhile.

Congratulations Donald. There is only one misspelling / grammatical
error in your post. Did you take my suggestion and enroll in a
remedial course?

Now THAT is interesting! But i would think they would be able to come
up with who (company/craftsman) were who built the church, seeing that
especially then, there were usually a lot of records kept, that is
unless they burned up in the flames. Or, at least I would think so.

But then again, and without re-reading the article, I'm thinking that
the ceiling is more of a modern day interpretation, or a re-created
facsimile, isn't it?

The current version is....copied from photos of the original.

OK, I re-read the article,a nd here's what threw me off:

"But the church didn't have a complete set of photographs of the
original star pattern, so Coolen, hoping the pattern reflected the
actual alignment of heavenly bodies in the night sky, sought the help
of astronomer David Turner of Saint Mary's University in Halifax."

The part about the incomplete photos. Anyhow, I can see how it could
be re-crreated with reasonable accuracy, now.

BTW, I'm sorry that arsonists burned the place. That's really low!
