Mackrel Skies

Did anyone notice the 'mackrel' sky tonight?
Its a sky to be viewed in the wilderness, where electricity is vague.

In the 'olden days' ie. medieval times, the belief was that life underwater mirrored what was above water. So many things were named from earth creatures , ie seahorse, dogfish, catfish....

Maybe in uncharted times, the sky also mirrored the earth, and hence earth names were given....mackrel skies.

And talking of sky stuff, no one really knows where all the astrology signage and information originated...it wasn't astonomers....

But isn't life today lacking somewhat in inspiration, when scientists name a new planets with a number.
