A constellation is a group or cluster of stars that appear to be the outline of certain figures. These figures do not actually exist, but are used as mnemonics to help people spot and recognize stars in the night sky. On a clear night one can see thousands of stars in the sky, and being able to recognize and remember these shapes can help to identify them. | A constellation is a group or cluster of stars that appear to be the outline of certain figures.
