Constellations are groups of stars that are associated by the human tendency

to identify patterns and assign labels to them. In that sense, they are as real

as ethics, nations, justice, and political parties.

Who says real or imaginary patterns of stars?

We humans are good at recognizing patterns. In fact, we humans are SO good at seeing patterns, sometimes we see patterns where there is no pattern. The ancient people, looking up into the night sky, saw patterns of lights in the sky that they thought looked like people, or animals, or common objects. We call these patterns of stars "constellations". Every society has constellations, but since people are all different, different civilizations see different constellations. The most common constellations are the ones observed by the ancient Greeks and Romans, and we learn these constellations like Orion the Hunter and the Big Dipper as children. The stars themselves are real, but the patterns are entirely in our own minds.
