	Constellations
		From around 1600 to 1800, post-Copernican astronomers invented hosts of "modern" constellations from the faint stars that lie between the classical figures, from pieces of ancient constellations, and from the stars that occupy the part of the southern sky that could not be seen from classical lands.

	The Constellations - Astronomy for Kids
		Constellations have been an important part of human society and folklore since we humans lived in caves, and, probably, even before then.
		In addition to a few of the constellations, we will also give you guides to a few "asterisms", which aren't officially constellations, but are easily recognizable patterns of stars that are either parts of a larger official constellation, such as the Big Dipper, or just good landmarks, like the Summer Triangle.
		All of the constellations and asterisms we show you are actually quite large in the sky.

	Constellations: Frequently Asked Questions

		Ptolemy refers to another star in the obsolete constellation of Argo the Boat as "the northernmost of two stars close together over the little shield in the poop," a bit cumbersome if you are trying to learn the names of many stars.
