A constellation is any one of the 88 areas into which the sky — or the

stars visibly related to each other in a particular configuration or pattern.Some well-known constellations contain striking and familiar patterns of bright stars. 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).
