Stars named after atrocious dictators? Not catchy
Interesting map of an alternative grouping of stars into new constellations.
My guess is that any number of people have tried to come up with more modern constellations over the years. Perhaps there are some interesting stories about such attempts. I can't imagine any attempt would be met with anything but harsh backlash. The history and mythology of the constellations is half of their appeal.
This will be an interesting research task in the near future.
