They would use stories and legends to connect the patterns of stars in the sky to create a narrative for each constellation. These names and stories were passed down through generations and varied across different civilizations.

The constellation, Draco, can be found revolving around the celestial North Pole. This type of constellation is said to be circumpolar.
