- tlb 9y agoI'm not sure what you mean. Venus, Mars, Jupiter, are Saturn visible from anywhere on earth for some portion of the year.
- pradn 9y agoYou are right. I forgot about the visible planets. They didn't come to my mind since I've rarely seen them since I've only lived in light-polluted cities all my life.
- banku_brougham 9y agoyes please clarify. Northern and southern skies are different, so yes not all humanity has seen the same stars. But ‘stars’ as visible phenomena in the night sky are a universal human experience. Ditto was someone said about venus mars jupiter and saturn.
- pradn 9y agoThat's true, but I'm trying to find specific objects that are universally shared. I mean, drinking water is also a universal experience.
- banku_brougham 9y agoYes true, the universe is full of things that aren’t literally the same but pretty much the same. That would be an interesting list.
