Constellation of Stars

A constellation of stars is a recognizable pattern of stars in the night sky, often named after mythological figures, animals, or objects. These patterns are not physically connected; the stars can be at vastly different distances from Earth. Historically, people used constellations for navigation and storytelling. In modern astronomy, they serve as a way to organize and identify regions of the sky, making it easier to locate celestial objects. Constellations are officially recognized groups, but they are just a small part of the universe's vast array of stars.
