Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

A constellation is an area on the celestial sphere in which a group of visible stars forms a perceived outline or pattern, typically representing an animal, mythological person or creature, or an inanimate object.

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.
