You're right; I missed the "stationary" requirement. There's also the 
Gemora Pesachim 94a that says the entire yishuv is located under one 
star, which would, if we include that as "ad harakia"  make it owned by 
all, and thus nobody. But this is all over my head, so to speak.

BTW, it was smart and altruistic, despite what I'm sure was painful for 
you, to spell "raqia" as you did in the subject line, I'm guessing for 
archive purposes. Y'yashar kochacha!

And thanks for that valuable link!
