What are Heavenly pictures?

By drawing imaginary lines between the stars in the sky, you will notice the shapes of animals or objects familiar to you. You might see a crab, a dragon, a bear or other patterns. These star patterns are called constellations. Astronomers haveidentified 88 constellations in all. The more famous ones are the Great Bear, the Little Bear and Orion, also known as theHunter. The constellations also include characters from Greek mythology and the 12 signs of the zodiac.
