What is the group of stars called that form an imaginary picture

Hint:- We will start this question by defining each option which is given in the question, i.e., Solar System, Moon, Constellation and Galaxy. Then from these definitions we can choose which option is the right answer to this question. Complete step-by-step solution - The Solar system is the gravitationally bound system of the Sun – an average star in the Milky Way Galaxy – and the other bodies that orbit it, either directly or indirectly. Of the bodies that orbit the sun directly, the largest are the eight planets, with the remainder being smaller objects, about 170 known planetary satellites (moon), there are dwarf planets such as Pluto, many asteroids, some have their own satellites, comets and other icy bodies and vast reaches of highly tenuous gas and dust known as the interplanetary medium. The Moon, otherwise known as Luna, is an astronomical body orbiting Earth as its only natural satellite. It is the fifth-largest satellite in the entire Solar System, and furthermore the largest among planetary satellites also relative to the size of the planet that it orbits. It is widely accepted that it was formed when the Earth collided with a planet - sized object known as Theia. It is the second brightest object in the whole sky. A constellation is an imaginary pattern in the night sky made by a group of stars. They are mostly named after mythological characters, people, animals and objects. In many parts of the world, people have come up with different shapes out of the sam...

The color picture was composited from digitized black and white photographic plates recorded through red and blue astronomical filters, with a computer synthesized green channel. The plates were taken using the Samuel Oschin Telescope, a wide-field survey instrument at Palomar Observatory, between 1987 and 1991.

Alnitak and Mintaka, the leftmost and rightmost stars of Orion’s Belt, lie at a similar distance, about 1,200 light-years from the Sun, while Alnilam, the central star of the Belt, is much more distant. It lies approximately 2,000 light-years away. This means that, even though Alnitak and Mintaka appear closer to Alnilam in the sky, they are in fact closer to each other. The three stars are ...

The Start of Astronomy In earlier times, telling stories was the most common form of entertainment, and the star patterns in the sky provided worthy inspiration. People also used the sky as a calendar once they noticed a correlation between the stars in the sky and different times of the year, like changing seasons. That led them to build observatories and temples that guided ritualistic skygazing. Of course, the science of astronomy grew over the centuries as technology advanced and scientists could define the objects in the sky they were seeing. However, even today, astronomers at all levels use some of the star patterns that were identified by the ancients; they provide a way to "map" the sky into regions. Most of the names we use for constellations today come from ancient Greece or the Middle East, a legacy of the advanced learning of those cultures. But those terms are widespread. For instance, the names "Ursa Major" and "Ursa Minor"—the Big Bear and the Little Bear—have been used to identify those stars by different populations around the world since the Ice Ages.
