星座是指天上一群群的恒星组合。自从古代以来,人类便把三五成群的恒星与他们神话中的人物或器具联系起来,這些迷思的綜合称之为“星座”。星座几乎是所有文明中确定天空方位的手段,在航海领域应用颇广。对星座的划分完全是人为的,不同的文明对于其划分和命名都不尽相同。星座一直没有统一规定的精确边界,直到1930年,國際天文學聯合會为了统一繁杂的星座划分,用精確的邊界把天空分為88個正式的星座,使天空多数恆星都屬於某一特定星座。這些正式的星座大多都以中世紀傳下來的古希臘傳統星座為基礎。与此相对地,有一些广泛流传但是沒有被认可为正式星座的星星的组合叫做星群,例如北斗七星(参见恒星统称列表)。 在三維的宇宙中,這些恆星其實相互間不一定有實際關係,不過其在天球這一個球殼面上的位置相近,而其实它们之间可能相距很远。如果我们身处银河中另一太阳系,我们看到的星空将会完全不同。自古以來,人们对于恆星的排列和形狀很感興趣,並很自然地把一些位置相近的星聯繫起來組成星座。
