pattern of stars recognized on Earth's night sky

AI overview

An asterism is a pattern of stars that people recognize when looking at the night sky, like the Big Dipper or the Summer Triangle. These star patterns help people navigate and find their way around the sky, even though the stars that make them up aren't necessarily related to each other or part of the same official constellation.
