Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Webster says: A constellation is a group of fixed stars, arbitrarily considered together, usually named with reference to an imaginary outline enclosing them.  A constellation can also refer to a group of symptoms of an illness, like "fever, vomiting, body aches, and diarrhea represent a constellation of symptoms sounding like the flu."  Constellations of stars could be Orion, The Plaeides, Leo, Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Casseopia, etc.
