Table of constellations of the starry sky

In ancient times, people combined the stars in the sky into figures that looked like certain objects, animals, etc. About the brightest of them, legends were necessarily composed and various mythical properties were attributed to them.

In our time, constellations are isolated and studied, primarily for scientific purposes. They are a group of stars united in separate sections, together making up the celestial sphere. This separation makes it easier and faster to navigate the starry sky.

Today, 88 constellations are officially known and accepted by the world scientific community. The table below shows their complete list in alphabetical order with and Latin names, abbreviations (abbreviations), area and number of bright stars.
