>>8998848
Why do you assume the first one is harder? Just because it is further away?

>>8998865

How come if I ask you to find Orion's belt, you'd be able to do it in a minute but if I ask you to find the ISS it'll take you all night if you are lucky?

>can map the stars, even use their annual positioning to calculate seasons
>can't figure out that the sun is one of them
Ayy lmao cavemen
