I had a thought last night about this. I was out at about 9.30 and at that time the belt was in the west and was pointing more or less north south.
I was thinknig about the mirror image aspect. Why do we think of it as a mirror image? Surely this has a lot to do with perspective, for example if you saw the horizon contunuing into the stars - a heavenly globe - then Thornborough is not a mirror image - like anything there are two ways of looking at this and we are putting our modern knowledge into the minds of people who lacked this info.
