Reply to comment by internetboyfriend666 in What if our sun was a part of another constellation on another planet? by smilingpike31

Good way of putting it. The sun is def visible to other planets. But a constellation is an abstract concept that almost certainly requires some kind of intelligence. I don’t think dogs look at the stars and see archers or lions or bears. And even if they did, they’d have no language to pass that info down through the generations.

I think it's human arrogance to think that THEY don't have some form dog language.

I think it's pretty obviously implied that the aliens we're discussing have some kind of equivalent intellectual construct that mirrors our "constellations".
