Many of the constellations are pretty much the same today as they were in ancient Greece. Pegasus, Hercules, and Orion are examples, as are the signs of the Zodiac. The planets have ancient Roman names. Very few of the stars have ancient European names, as astronomy of ancient times was kept alive by Arabs, who used their own names for the stars.
