The term for a group of stars forming a recognizable pattern is a constellation. Constellations serve as a way to organize the night sky, allowing astronomers and navigators to identify and track stars. Traditionally, many constellations are named after mythological figures, animals, or objects, and they vary depending on cultural perspectives. The International Astronomical Union officially recognizes 88 constellations, which divide the celestial sphere into specific areas. While the patterns of stars may not have any physical relationship to each other, they assist observers in locating celestial objects and form a rich part of human cultural and scientific history.
