OBJECTIVE
In the 20th century, a committee of the International Astronomical Union took it upon itself to accurately
delineate the 88 constellations. It included 48 ancient constellations enumerated by the Greek astronomer
Ptolemy, plus 40 new constellations. Each constellation is a region of the sky, and together they cover
the entire celestial sphere.

EVALUATION
The star charts represent the position of the stars as we see them from Earth; however, the stars
in each constellation may not be close to each other, as some we perceive to be brighter because
they are close to the Earth, while others are brighter because they are huge stars. Each constellation
is a region of the sky; together they cover the entire celestial sphere.
