How was the big dipper was found?

Ancient people looked up in the sky and imagined patterns in the stars. They saw a pattern of fairly bright stars in the shape of a dipper, although some people saw the shape of a large bear. In England, people made stories about the wagon that carried King Charles to his execution, and named it Charles' Wain.Officially, the name of the constellation is Ursa Major, or "Great Bear".But there isn't actually anything there in the sky except scattered stars. We IMAGINE the patterns. But human beings instinctively try to make patterns out of what we see.

How was the constellation Orion formed?

It wasn't formed as such. Orion, like all constellations, is a group of individual stars that have no relation to each other, but from our perspective they appear to make a noticeable pattern in the sky. They are different sizes, different distances away and so on, but just happen to seem to form a particular pattern. So constellations are in effect formed through the imagination of people. We look up at all the stars in the sky and through our own imagination they look like things, so we name that group as a constellation. Orion and the other constellations were created in that way. In reality, every star in Orion was individually formed. They were not formed together as a unit at the same time. If you were in a completely different part of the galaxy, the stars of Orion would look completely different in terms of a pattern, and some may not look connected in any way. So were you halfway between two of the stars of Orion, they would be on completely opposite sides of the sky to you, so would not be part of the same patterns that you would see.


Stars in a constellation are about the same age?

No. Constellations are just patterns of stars as seen from Earth. In reality they are all different distances from us and have no connection to each other. They are all kinds of different stars in terms of size, type, heat, distance and of course age. Written By: Helpful_hinamoriAmu One day i will tell you ,my real name
