What is a Constellation?

Definition of constellations blog post

Did you know the definition of a constellation is “a group of stars forming a recognizable pattern that is named?” 

The fun shapes we find in our stars are sometimes named after the star pattern’s shape or form and sometimes identified with a mythological figure, such as the centaur. Centaur appears in Allie’s Moon Games Book 2, Clara and the Constellations Play Kickball!

Modern astronomers divide the sky into 88 constellations with defined boundaries. The names of our constellations range from the well-known Big Dipper and Orion to lesser-known, such as Mensa or “Table Mountain/Plateau” and Crux or “Cross” taken from the Christian religious symbol.

When I present at schools, I love sharing the many different constellations and asking kids about their favorite animals to see if we can find a related constellation. I can almost always come up with something from the list of 88 constellations, and we have fun looking up the images of each one named.

It all begins with an idea.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
