Why can't Thomasin find any constellations she recognizes?

A: Dusty regions like those in the Whirlpool Galaxy are preventing the starlight escaping the Milky Way.
B: Black holes in the spaces between galaxies trap enough light to render most stars invisible from long distances.
C: Warping of space-time by galaxy masses bends the starlights' paths and distorts the constellations' shapes.
D: From any position far outside the Solar System, the stars are seen at different angles and fall out of the constellations' traditional shapes.
E: Not enough time has passed for the Milky Way stars' light to reach the Kiranye's galaxy.


Answer: D: From any position far outside the Solar System, the stars are seen at different angles and fall out of the constellations' traditional shapes.
