Definition:

Constellation (noun): A group of stars that form a pattern in the sky.

Constellations are traditionally named after mythological characters, animals, and objects, and have been used for navigation and storytelling throughout human history. There are 88 recognized constellations in modern astronomy, each with its own unique arrangement of stars.

Constellations are often represented by connecting imaginary lines between the individual stars, creating recognizable shapes and figures. They serve as reference points for astronomers and stargazers to locate celestial objects in the night sky. The study of constellations and their movements is an essential part of understanding the universe and its vastness.
