Constellations are formed of bright stars which appear close to each other on the sky, but are really far apart in space. The shapes you see all depend on your point of view. Many societies saw patterns among the stars with gods and goddesses or stories from their culture. Most of the constellations with which we are familiar come from ancient Greece. But other civilizations created their own patterns in the sky based on stories and people that were important to them. The stories below provide an overview of myths associated with the constellations identified by early civilizations around the world.

The most common and prevalent superstitions about stars have to do with Astrology. The belief that where the stars are in the heavens at the moment of your birth can determine anything and everything from your personality and medical traits to who you should marry and how you will interact with the other people you meet in the world. Stars are thought to be able to grant wishes. In one belief if you say the poem "Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish to night." to the first star of the evening it will grant your wish. In another it is said the a person who counts nine starts, nine nights in a row may have a wish granted. It is said to be bad luck in some places to point at the stars.
