Humans created the constellations in their minds. Constellations are nothing more than stars in the sky, with no pattern or meaning. The ancient Greeks saw what appeared to be parallel points of light thought they were a giant game of connect the dots, and imagined them forming meaningful pictures.

Yes, they are as you say, but they are useful as "sky-marks" in mapping astronomical objects. Perhaps the most obvious is the Orion Nebula, just about visible to the naked eye in good viewing conditions as a faint patch of fuzzy light. We say It is "in" Orion, but none of the constellation's stars have anything to do with each other or the nebula. Orion is simply an easily-recognisable image of stars that happen to frame the nebula, so help us to find it.
