What is a constellation? • A group of stars that make a pattern and have a name!
Review • In ancient (old) times people saw constellations as animals or characters formed in the sky. • They made up names and stories to explain how the character or animal came into the sky!
Do stars move? • No! Stars appear to move, but it is the Earth rotating around the Sun. • That is why we see different star patterns! Also known as constellations! • That is also why we see certain stars in certain seasons!
