What is a constellation?

Constellation refers to the stars in the sky. In fact, the stars in the same constellation have no actual relationship with each other, but their projection positions on the celestial sphere are similar. Since ancient times, people have been interested in the arrangement and shape of stars, and naturally linked some stars with similar positions to form constellations. Constellations are divided into Polaris, South Star and Zodiac. The whole day is currently divided into 88 constellations. Constellations are generally named after musical instruments or Greek mythical figures.
