There is no such thing as a "main" constellation in terms of ASTRONOMY, the IAU recognises 88 constellations. However in terms of ASTROLOGY = there are 12 signs of the Zodiac. The signes of the Zodiac are incorporated into (are a subset) of the 88 IAU recognised constellations
There are two main types of constellations: modern constellations, official groupings defined by the International Astronomical Union; and traditional constellations, which are patterns in the sky established by ancient civilizations. Modern constellations are based on precise boundaries and are used for scientific purposes, while traditional constellations are more culturally significant and often tell stories from mythology.
In the northern hemisphere the constellations on the meridian on June 21 have a right ascension of 18 hours, and constellations from 15 to 18 hours can be seen in summer evenings. They are not as bright as the winter constellations. The main ones are Boötes (main star Arcturus), Corona Borealis, Serpens Caput, Libra, Hercules and Ophiuchus. In the southern sky, Scorpio (main star Antares). In the summer the circumpolar constellations like Cassiopeia, Ursa Major, Perseus and Draco can be seen although not in their usual winter positions.
"Constellations" translates to "constellations" in French.
The two groups of constellations are northern constellations and southern constellations. Northern constellations are visible primarily from the Northern Hemisphere, while southern constellations are visible primarily from the Southern Hemisphere.

Constellations are patterns of stars, so stars cannot be constellations.
The constellations that follow the path of the sun in the sky are known as the zodiac constellations. There are 12 zodiac constellations that the sun passes through during the year as seen from Earth. These constellations form the basis of the zodiac signs used in astrology.
No one exactly knows what are constellations for.
The Constellations was created in 2008.
