"What are constellations? Who named them? Where can they be found? Ancient peoples believed constellations held clues to the future. These groupings of stars helped farmers plant crops and sailors find their way home. Budding astronomers will learn all about constellations, including the history of studying the stars, how today's constellations were named, and how constellations help today's astronomers"--
