Answer:

simple answer is a group of stars that forms a pattern and has a name

तारों का वह समूह जिससे कोई आकार बनता है तथा उसका कोई नाम होता है; तारामंडल, नक्षत्र

Explanation:

a constellation is a name given to a group of stars in the sky that make up a certain pattern. Sometimes this pattern is imaginary. When the sky is clear these stars can be seen from Earth without the use of a telescope.

There are 88 named constellations, and they take many forms, including mythological creatures, animals, people and objects. The name is usually given based on the shape made by the brightest stars within the constellation. Some of these shapes appear much more obvious than others. Sometimes there is a smaller shape distinguishable within the constellation that is also given a name, this is known as an asterism.
