Why do astronomers use modern constellation regions instead of ancient constellation patterns divide the sky?

Astronomers use modern constellation regions because they provide a more systematic and precise way to divide the sky into manageable sections. Ancient constellations were often based on mythological figures and varied across cultures, leading to inconsistencies. In contrast, modern constellations are defined by official boundaries established by the International Astronomical Union, allowing for standardized communication and identification of celestial objects. This clarity is essential for scientific research and navigation in astronomy.
