Examples are Orion (containing a figure of a hunter), Leo (containing bright stars outlining the form of a lion), Scorpius (a scorpion), and Crux (a cross).

Constellation
An arbitrary grouping of stars which form a pattern. It is also used to describe the area of the celestial sphere which bounds the star pattern. The entire area of the celestial sphere is divided into eighty eight constellations. These vary in size and shape from Hydra, the sea monster, which is the largest at 1,303 square degrees, to Crux, the cross, which is the smallest at 68 square degrees.
