The concept of constellations dates back to ancient civilizations, with the earliest records from Mesopotamia around 3000 BCE. Cultures such as the Babylonians, Greeks, and Egyptians developed their own systems of constellations, often linking them to mythology and agriculture. The Greeks, particularly through figures like Ptolemy in the 2nd century CE, formalized many of the constellations we recognize today. Ultimately, the idea of constellations reflects humanity's desire to find patterns and meanings in the night sky.

Constellations are groups of stars that form recognizable patterns in the sky. They appear to be arranged in specific shapes, but in reality, the stars are at varying distances from Earth and are not physically related to each other.
