Constellation Names: 600+ Catchy and Cool Names

A constellation is a group of stars that arrange themselves in a particular pattern and are then recognized by a unique name. These stars are billions of kilometers away from earth. It looks like these groups of stars are physically connected, but that’s not the case.

Till today we have officially recognized around 88 constellations so far. If you draw lines between these stars, you will get a picture of some animal or object; on that basis, these patterns get their name. 

We have with us a new collection of constellation names.

Cool Constellation Names

The constellation you can see in the sky at night depends on your position on Earth. These constellations are fixed so they can be used as a landmark in the sky. This technique is known as celestial navigation, in which astronauts navigate in space with the help of these constellations and star maps.
