Constellation

A constellation is a group of stars visibly related to each other in a particular configuration as seen from a particular planet.

Notable constellations visible from Earth include Orion and Leo. Notable constellations visible from other planets include "The Runners" (from Bajor) and "The Great Horn" (from the Brunali homeworld).
