Constellation
A group of stars that forms a recognizable pattern or outline in the night sky, often named after mythological figures, animals, or objects.
Think of connecting the dots in a picture book to make a shape. A constellation is like connecting bright stars in the sky to see a picture, like Orion the hunter.
