That’s Not a Constellation, it’s an Asterism!

Asterisms are distinct shapes and patterns in the stars that can be seen in the night sky. They are not constellations, but they can consist of stars from multiple constellations. One of the best-known asterisms is the Big Dipper, which is part of the Urus Major constellation. From inside the planetarium, look at asterisms, planets, and constellations.
