 Did you know that…
A constellation is a group of visible stars that form a pattern when viewed from Earth. The pattern they
form may take the shape of an animal, a mythological creature, a man, a woman, or an inanimate object
such as a microscope, a compass, or a crown.
 
The sky was divided up into 88 different constellations in 1922. This included 48 ancient constellations
listed by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy as well as 40 new constellations.
 
The 88 different constellations divide up the entire night sky as seen from all around the Earth. Star
maps are made of the brightest stars and the patterns that they make which give rise to the names of the
constellations.

The maps of the stars represent the position of the stars as we see them from Earth. The stars in each
constellation may not be close to each other at all. Some of them are bright because they are close to Earth
while others are bright because they are very large stars. 

The zodiac constellations are the constellations that are located within a band that is about 20 degrees
wide in the sky. This band is considered special because it is the band where the Sun, the Moon, and the
planets all move.

There are 13 zodiac constellations. Twelve of these are also used as signs for the zodiac calendar and
astrology. Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius,
Ophiuchus.

Constellations are useful because they can help people to recognize stars in the sky. By looking for
patterns, the stars and locations can be much easier to spot.
