Constellations are a result of accidental collinearity. Most stars in a constellation are separated by huge distances but their position is such that they appear to lie close to one another and appear to move together in a single shape. In addition, most constellations are based on pretty impressive imagination of ancient civilisations which managed to see images of their mythical characters or animals in these shapes.
