A group of stars that forms a pattern in the sky and has been given a name; more generally, a group of related things or people.
From Latin *constellatio*, meaning "a set of stars" (*con-* "together" + *stella* "star"). People have been grouping stars into constellations for thousands of years to tell stories and navigate.
A constellation is a picture our minds draw between stars that are often nowhere near each other in space. We do the same with people and ideas—connecting scattered points into one meaningful pattern.
