A constellation is a group of stars that form a recognizable pattern in the night sky. There are 88 officially recognized constellations.
A map or listing of constellation boundaries in right ascension is used to locate and identify specific constellations in the night sky. It can also help astronomers track the movement of the stars and planets.
Constellation boundaries are determined by drawing imaginary lines connecting the brightest stars in a given area of the sky. These boundaries have been established by the International Astronomical Union.
