How are stars arranged in a constellation?
Randomly. Stars aren't "arranged" in a constellation. We humans are very good at seeing patterns - EXCEPTIONALLY good at seeing patterns. Even when there are no patterns. So humans in antiquity - before most written history - looked at the stars in the sky, back when the night sky was REALLY DARK and there was nothing to dim the skies - looked up and saw patterns in the stars. To entertain themselves, or to teach about their culture and their history, they made up stories about the patterns that they saw in the night sky. Some patterns are obvious; the constellation Orion looks too obviously like a giant man in the sky, so tales about the mighty hunter are unsurprising. The swan, the lion, the bull; each has its own story. But the shapes don't really exist, and the stories come from our own histories and fantasies.
