History of constellations
Stars move across the sky on a regular schedule, much like
the sun. At various times of year, different constellations appear
at sunset. The rising constellations rotate based on the Earth's
path through space, and so can be used to mark the seasons in
regions when moderate weather may not convey the change
between winter and spring.

Most of the constellations we know of today bear Greek and

Roman names, but people mapped the sky before these
empires took hold. The Greeks adopted their system from the
Babylonians, whose origins in turn may have stemmed from
Sumerian traditions 3,000 years before. Even further back, scientists suspect that markings on a the
cave walls at Lascaux in southern France — created over 17,000 years ago — may chart the
Pleiades and Hyades star clusters, making it the first known star map.

In 1929, the International Astronomical Union officially defined 88 constellations across the span of
the sky. Formally cementing these boundaries allows astronomers to communicate about the regions
of the sky they study.

The official constellations are in fact rectangular slices of the heavens holding the stars within it.
Included are the individual groupings. For instance, the constellation of Ursa Major contains all of the
stars around the shape known by the same name.

However, many of the groupings most people consider to be constellations actually officially aren't.
The Big Dipper, which lays inside of Ursa Major, is not recognized as a constellation. Instead, it is an
asterism, a group of stars not officially designated but known by most non astronomers.

The sun, the moon, and the planets travel on a set path through the sky known as the ecliptic as the
Earth rotates. The list of 13 constellations they pass through are known as the stars of the Zodiac.
The Zodiac constellations' names are: Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer,
Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Ophiuchus, Sagittarius.

Astrologers use 12 of these constellations as signs of the Zodiac, omitting Ophiuchus, to make
predictions. Signs differ from constellations, bearing only a loose reference to one another. The sign
of Pisces, for instance, corresponds to the rise of the constellation of Aquarius. Ironically, if you are
born under a particular sign, that constellation it is named for is not visible at night. Instead, the sun is
passing through it around that time of year, making it a daytime constellation that can't be seen.

The distance from our world to the individual stars in a constellation varies, often by tens of
light-years, scattering the stars randomly across the galaxy. Still, the constellations can provide
entertainment and a source of imagination. They can help the lost to find their way. They aid
skywatchers in the search for planets, comets, or other events, by a process called star hopping. And,
as they surely did with the ancients, they can provoke a sense of timeless wonder.
