On a very dark night...

On a very dark night, astronomers estimate that you can clearly see 1,000 to 1,500 stars, excluding the billions in the Milky Way. Doesn't seem like a lot of stars to count, does it? But to most observers the sky is a confusing place, a jumble of stars, some bright, some very faint, strewn across the night sky. Telling one star from another is difficult. Hence, over thousands of years, farmers, poets, and astronomers have given names to certain groupings of stars, called constellations.
