The study starts with the proof that the stars visible to the naked eye are arranged following a Poisson distribution, a concept that I use to understand why, in the works of several artists, the stars appear so clustered that they form an excess in the number of possible constellations. This analysis should be considered only preliminary and will be completed soon by further investigation which I describe at the end of this paper.STAMPAenSTARing the sky in the face: Recognizing the constellations in a sky which does not have anyConference paper10.1007/978-3-319-54487-8_142-s2.0-85020460299https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-54487-8_14https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85020460299
