Thousands of years ago,astronomers divided the stars into groups and drew imaginary pictures around them, such as that of a hunter or a bear.This made it easier for them to remember the stars patterns.Such a group of stars is called a constellation.The shape of a constellation is always remains the same.Constellations appear to move from east to west.Today,88 constellations are recognized by astronomers. Remember, however,that the stars in a constellation are actually unrelated.They are at widely varying distances from the Earth.However,when viewed from the Earth,they appear to be at the same distance and form a group.Some constellations are discussed below.
