They are not physical groupings of stars, but rather arbitrary patterns that help astronomers navigate the sky.
Can the moon be so big where it stretches a mile across the sky?
No, the moon cannot appear so big that it stretches a mile across the sky. The moon's angular size can vary slightly depending on its distance from Earth, but it is typically around half a degree in the sky, which is much smaller than a mile.
