1. Constellations are sections of the sky that contain recognizable star patterns that can be named. Constellations are a bit like states in a way, because each constellation is an entire region, which shares a border with its neighboring constellations. Every star or galaxy in the sky is located within a constellation. Constellations helped people organize the sky. They also helped track the apparent motions of planets and stars. Many cultures organized objects from the constellations. Some examples of constellations are the Big Dipper and the Little Dipper. Also, there are constellations of the zodiac signs. 3. The way that we can detect small objects that are too small for our unaided eyes to see is by using a telescope. By doing this, the people looking through the telescope are vaguely seeing the things, but can comprehend what they are. When there are flashes of light, they help the scientists see the small objects even better.
