actually I was replying to Simon...I think he was trying to trick
someone. The earth is part of the Milky Way galaxy. All 88
constellations are viewed from a position on Earth so how could the
earth be in one? If viewed from another far off position, they would
look different.

It wasn't a trick. He might have been on the Moon in which case the Earth
would be in a constellation.
