including a nice artist's impression of the three bodies with their asteroid belt. Maybe this picture could be used in a future version?!

Bit of a problem here, I think. Canis Minor would be a better constellation for puppy fans. Puppis is Latin for stern (of a ship). In English we get the word "poop-deck" from this (I think, I haven't looked it up.)

So, if you want puppy poop stick with Puppis!

Ooops! Forgot to check it out with my Latin dictionary. Should've spotted the difference between canis and puppis. Can't find my German dictionary, but MU is going to enlighten us very soon now. Superficially, it sounded good...
Woof, woof.

New sighting of heavenly bodies is an ominous sign! (especially to brave sailors like Puppeye )

A boat is steered from behind - from Puppis !!!

The boat is onepc.org and Puppy will steer it.

Interesting that the German for "constellation" is Sternbild!

Canis is Hund (Dog).

Translated with Puppys updated PB-dict, that has a latin dictionary now:

Sternenbild means "Star-picture" or "Star-image".
This means the picture you get when drawing lines among the stars of a constellation.
