The Astronomy Of Sudoku
1,281*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
Some might think that there is little crossover between sudoku and the stars but Scojo's Anti-ratio Astronomy puzzle begs to differ. This is one of only two sudokus on Logic Masters which has maintained a 100% rating with over 45 solves AND an average difficulty rating... so we wanted to check it out!!
Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Divide the grid into “galaxies”, which are orthogonally connected groups of cells that have 180 degree rotational symmetry about their centres, and do not overlap with other galaxies. All cells must be part of a galaxy. The centre of every galaxy is marked by a red dot. Digits may not repeat within a galaxy. No two adjacent cells in the grid (ie no domino) may have digits that are in a 1:2 ratio.
