Constellations are images which the ancients believed they could see in the sky by drawing imaginary lines between the stars to make shapes. The stars themselves are not actually in these formations in space, but because of varying distance and brightness (and the over-active imaginations of the first astrologers) they have been grouped into images in the sky.
