These paintings are copied from the originals on the second and third tiers of the five-tier corbel vault covering the burial chamber of the Ssangyeongchong Tomb. They present several constellations of stars scattered among clouds, each of which is formed by three stars linked with red lines. One of the constellations is believed to be the Scorpion in the eastern sky.
