I don’t understand how one night a guy looked at the stars and said that if you draw a line between certain stars you can see a lion. And also were they chosen at random?

I think the answer youre looking for is that there has been no pollution for thousands of years and every night those stars were very much in your face. Its impossible to look at something every day for decades and not find patterns. Even ones that are pretty hard to see. Remember those weird books of designs that make you squint your eyes to see a hidden image? They’re extremely hard to see at first, but the more you do it the easier it is to see.
