In Rick and Morty, was Ventriloquiver just talking nonsense about Astronomy?

In the episode of Rick and Morty "One Crew over the Crewcoo's Morty" the planet Earth is stolen and placed in an imperfect hologram of the night sky. A character named Ventriloquiver notices that the stars are off and expresses this by saying "Strange. Considering the time, Cassiopeia's primary star should be collinear with Orion and Ursa Minor." Is that... nonsense? I've been dipping my toe into actual astronomy lately and I still have no idea what she was talking about. If it's not nonsense, can you explain it to me?

Need help with placements of galaxies in my syfy space opera story.

I’m writing a syfy book with multiple factions and trying to lean more towards hard syfy. Well the story is far future and I’m trying to draw a map of where each faction’s territories are. I tried asking google for a good idea of the placements for the galaxies in my map. However the two major galaxies that are in my story are the Milky Way and Andromeda. However I looked at a map and saw triangulum kinda in between the Milky Way and andromeda. Idk if that’s correct or not so I thought I ask. I’m also including dwarf galaxies in the map as well (Fornax, Sculptor, and Sagittarius) this is the map I’m using and I’m also including the map I’m drawing and editing in 2D to draw terror borders between galactic empires.

Not a real picture, but how visible is Jupiter from the planet Mars? I assume bigger than how it looks from Earth?
