At https://phys.org/news/2026-05-indigenous-australians-world-astronomers-knowledge.html … this appears to be a case of mainstream astronomers not listening properly or indigenous people being prompted. Aborigines may well have been recording what was going on in the sky back in the day but it would not have been anything like what is in the sky nowadays. Significant events may have been associated with specific star clusters, such as the Pleiades. Clube and Napier associated this star group with the Taurid complex as the meteor streams were seen to emanate out of the sky in front of the Pleiades. The Australian Aborigines may have had a similar approach as the meteors had an origin in a now defunct large comet. The long necked turtle is a star cluster associated with an unusual object we can only guess at. However, we do know this star cluster was used as a calendar and in seasonal eating habits. This suggests it came and went as in the meteor streams and comet or comets associated with the Clube and Napier hypothesis. It came and went as in Halloween and whatever activity lay behind that annual display. Most probably a meteor stream that Earth’s orbit crossed once a year. Same with the alignments to midsummer – or just off midsummer to be exact. What was in the sky that isn’t in the modern world?
