The concept is to visit 9 cities in Scandinavia, take a map at every city and find an area that reminds me of one of the 88 constellations of the celestial spheres. It is also to define within the selected area the points as found in any constellation in the night sky and walk from one point to another. Moreover is to document the paths by taking photos of what I see, especially of "space things" and record the sounds. Finally it is to explore this path and experience the feeling of not visiting another city on Earth, but visiting a galaxy at the Universe.
According to wikipedia...
Time travel is the concept of moving between different points in time in a manner analogous to moving between different points in space. Time travel could hypothetically involve moving backward in time to a moment earlier than the starting point, or forward to the future of that point without the need for the traveler to experience the intervening period (at least not at the normal rate). Any technological device – whether fictional or hypothetical – that would be used to achieve time travel is commonly known as a time machine.

Constellation
"In modern astronomy, a constellation is an internationally defined area of the celestial sphere. These areas are grouped around asterisms, patterns formed by prominent stars within apparent proximity to one another on Earth's night sky.
There are 88 standard constellations recognized by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) since 1922. The
majority of these go back to the 48 constellations defined by Ptolemy in his Almagest(2nd century). The remaining ones were defined in the 17th and 18th century; the most recent ones are found on the southern sky, defined in Coelum australe stelliferum by Nicolas Louis de Lacaille(1763).

There are also numerous historical constellations not recognized by the IAU, or constellations recognized in regional traditions of astronomy or astrology, such as Chinese, Hindu or Australian Aboriginal."

List of constellations...
"Each culture has its own constellations, usually based on mythology. This article covers the 88 constellations used in modern astronomy, which properly speaking are not patterns of stars, as in the common use of the word, but areas of the sky (thecelestial sphere).
The ancient Babylonians, and later the Greeks (as recorded by Ptolemy), established most of the northern constellations in international use today. When European explorers mapped the stars of the southern skies, European and American astronomers proposed new constellations for that region, as well as ones to fill gaps between the traditional constellations. Not all of these proposals caught on, but in 1922, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) adopted the modern list of 88 constellations. After this, Eugène Delporte drew up precise boundaries for each constellation, so that every point in the sky belonged to exactly one constellation."
