How many constellations are there in the universe?

At present, there are 88 known constellations, which are divided into Polaris and South Polaris. The longest and largest constellation is Ophiuchus and the smallest is Southern Cross. Most constellations are named after animals and mythical figures.

There are more constellations in the southern sky than in the north, and the sky is much brighter than in the north. The southern sky is rich in nebulae and clusters, including two Magellanic clouds, which are the two closest to our galaxy. Constellation is an obvious combination of stars, and the distance between the stars in the constellation may be very different. Because of the relative motion between the stars, the shape of the constellation may change within thousands of years. The movement of constellations in the sky is caused by the movement of the earth in space. The rotation of the constellation causes the constellation to cross the sky from east to west. The earth's orbit around the sun makes it possible to observe different areas of the sky in different seasons. The visibility of these different areas is also related to the position of the observer. For example, stars near the equator of the celestial sphere can be seen from both hemispheres at some time in a year, while stars near the celestial pole can never be observed from the opposite hemisphere.
