Constellation

Real World Example

Imagine trying to find your car in a large parking lot after a day of shopping. Much like how you need to identify specific landmarks or patterns in the rows of cars to find your vehicle, astronomers look for specific patterns formed by stars in the night sky to identify constellations. Just as you might use the position of a lamppost or a particular tree to navigate to your car, the arrangement of stars forms a recognizable shape or pattern that helps us locate and identify specific constellations.
