Question:

Sky & Telescope (May 1993) reported that Noah Brosch of Tel Aviv University, Israel, discovered a new asterism in Virgo. “Five stars, all appearing brighter than about the 13th magnitude, comprise a diamond-shaped area with sides only 42 seconds long. The probability is small that five stars with similar bright nesses could be so closely aligned by chance, and Brosch suggests that the stars of the diamond . . . are physically associated.” Assuming the “probability” mentioned in the article is small (say, less than .01), do you agree with the inference made by the astronomer?
