A '''constellation''' is a configuration of [[star]]s that stands out to the human eye as making up a group. In the imagination they sometimes resemble an animal or other object, and in ancient times, people in different civilizations assigned them names based on their perceived shape. In [[astronomy]] the heavens are divided into regions based on constellations as a point of reference and to help in the location of stars.
