That might refer to M32, in the Andromeda constellation. It seems that the current distance estimate is 2.65 million light-years.
The shapes do change, but only a little bit over thousands of years.
The earliest reference to Orion was in a mammoth ivory carving which was found over 32,000 years ago. It references a great hunter. The constellation can be seen throughout the world.
Because Earth moves, and it appears that the constellation moves. It just seems that we see it at a certain time of year.
the closest constellation is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 light years away.
yes
Actually, all the stars of a constellation are in motion. It is just that the distance between them is so great that the motion is not apparent to us. Over the course of thousands of years you could tell they change positions with respect to each other.
Of course you can draw it on paper and it will stay there. But then it won't reflect the real sky; planets change from one constellation to another, sometimes within weeks or so.
A constellation is a direction in the sky. The stars in a constellation are constantly moving. A million years from now, the sky won't look the same as it does now.
A constellation is basically a general direction in space. It doesn't have a definite distance. Different stars in a constellation are at different distances. The closest star from Earth happens to be in the Centaurus constellation, at a distance of about 4.2 light-years. But please note that other stars in the same constellation are much, much farther from us.A constellation is basically a general direction in space. It doesn't have a definite distance.

Depending on which constellation, somewhere between then next 20 and 2000 years people will see that star explode; the constellation will appear different for a year or five, and then disappear, leaving a whole in it.
The constellation Norma is approximately 200 million light years away from Earth. It is a small and inconspicuous constellation that can be seen in the southern hemisphere.
