They're all stars or constellations. - Vesa is tricky though, can't fid that one!

Efforts of the VESA group are focused on Science Data Visualization and Computer Graphics. JPL's mission for NASA is to explore the Solar System. The VESA group supports this activity by producing still and animated visualizations for the planetary exploration missions. The VESA group also performs visualization efforts for the private industry, other NASA centers, and other branches of the U.S. government.
Dunno, suppose it's connected though... loosely that is ;)
