Betelgeuse .... French rendering of "Bet El Jabbar", the shoulder of the Giant. (Kareem Abdul Jabbar = Kareem Abdul "The Giant") Orion would not look right without its shoulder if it ever went supernova and disappeared. (Could have already happened and the light has yet to arrive!)
Slide!!!! If you magnify the image you will see an asterism directly to the right of Betelgeuse that I propose naming "The Patio Chair"!
Since every asterism has its own myth, I suggest that the story associated with this asterism be of "Lawnchair "Larry Walters.
"Lawrence Richard "Larry" Walters had often dreamed of flying, but was unable to become a pilot in the United States Air Force because of his poor eyesight. Instead, he became a truck driver.[2] He first thought of using weather balloons to fly at age 13, after seeing them hanging from the ceiling of a military surplus store."
"In 1982, he decided to try his flying idea. His intention was to float over the Mojave Desert and then use a pellet gun to burst some of the balloons in order to land."[3] ."In mid-1982, Walters and his girlfriend at the time, Carol Van Deusen, purchased 45 eight-foot (2.4 m) weather balloons and obtained helium tanks from California Toy Time Balloons. They used a forged requisition from his employer, FilmFair Studios, saying the balloons were for a television commercial." "On July 2, 1982, Walters attached 43 of the balloons[3] to his lawn chair, filled them with helium, put on a parachute, and strapped himself into the chair in the backyard of a home at 1633 West 7th Street in San Pedro. He took his pellet gun, a CB radio, sandwiches, beer, and a camera.[4] When the cord that tied his lawn chair to his Jeep broke prematurely, before a planned delay to notify authorities, Walters's lawn chair rose rapidly to a height of about 16,000 feet (4,900 m) and was spotted from two commercial airliners.[3] He slowly drifted over Long Beach and crossed the primary approach corridor of Long Beach Airport."
"He was in contact with REACT, a citizens band radio monitoring organization, who recorded their conversation:"
REACT: What information do you wish me to tell [the airport] at this time as to your location and your difficulty?
Larry: "Ah, the difficulty is, ah, this was an unauthorized balloon launch, and, uh, I know I'm in a federal airspace, and, uh, I'm sure my ground crew has alerted the proper authority. But, uh, just call them and tell them I'm okay."
REACT: "Well, ah, stay safe and try not to chud it up."
"After 45 minutes in the sky, Walters shot several balloons, taking care not to unbalance the load. He then accidentally dropped his pellet gun overboard. He descended slowly, until the balloons' dangling cables got caught in a power line at 423 E 44th Way in Long Beach. The power line broke, causing a 20-minute electricity blackout. He landed unharmed on the ground." ...Snip....(Additional interesting information at link including copycats and police and FAA Case Disposition!)
/SLIDE!
You are right. The asterism should be named for his flight!
