Memorize 88 Constellations

I was first going to memorize them in order using a peg list. A memory journey would also work.

I figure that I should start with a smaller task before going out to look up the star charts and pictures, but it should be easy enough to add them by using Wikipedia (example page).

I’m creating images like this:

Peg Latin Name Description Mnemonic
001 Andromeda Princess of Ethiopia Andromeda Galaxy
002 Antlia Air pump 'ant + Leah
003 Apus Bird of Paradise apes
004 Aquarius Water bearer Aquarius
005 Aquila Eagle 'a quill
etc.

My pegs are based on my 3-digit number system. After I have all the mnemonics created, I’ll link everything together. (I didn’t have time to finish the list yet.)
