Constellations were used a very long time ago- before modern technology such as compasses- to navigate. People out at sea mostly would have understanding of the order and positions of stars to navigate at night. The constellations make these easier to remember. Also, some religions and groups of people thought that constellations were created by gods in their image or were the gods themselves.
