Constellation

A constellation is a group of stars that is seen from the surface of a planet. They are usually named from the image they make when the stars are connected. Stars that make up a constellation are sometimes named after the constellation using the Greek alphabet(from Earth's point-of-view).


 * Alpha Centauri is a star of the Centaurus constellation.
 * Tau Ceti is a star of the Cetus constellation.

Behind the Scenes
Doctor Who writers have, at times, used "constellation" inaccurately and/or inconsistently, the term is often used/confused with galaxies and solar systems.
