Maybe these were all drawn by different artists, of varying skills, styles, and attention to detail (ahem column 4, row 2).

One thing I found interesting about the article was where the Rappengluek started talking about the Pleiades, and speculating that they might have lit small fires to mimic the stars in the sky. "Perhaps this is the origin of modern-day candlelit festivals in the Far East where the candles are held in the shape of the Pleiades."
