      abstract = {Many national flags display astronomical features -- Sun,  Moon, stars -- but are they really based on existing  astronomical objects? The United States flag sports 50  stars, one for each state, however none of them are linked  to real stars. Further, the lunar crescent is often shaped  like the Sun being eclipsed by the Moon. At times, stars  are seen right next to the crescent, where the darkened  disc of the moon should be!},
