Can you explain a constellation?
Some stars form familiar patterns in the night sky. The pattern may resemble a human, an animal or another object. Such a configuration of stars is called a constellation. Astronomers have identified 88 constellations. These constellations have been given Latin names. This is because the same configuration of stars might be given different names by people from different places. Some constellations were named after people. Examples of these are Orion (the mythical hunter), Cassiopeia, Andromeda and Perseus. Constellations named after animals include Pegasus, Ursa Major and Ursa Minor. Some constellations were named after objects. Telescopium was named after the telescope and Microscopium after the microscope. Some well-known configurations of stars are not constellations but only a part of constellations. For example, Big Dipper is part of the constellation Ursa Major, while Little Dipper is part of the constellation Ursa Minor.
