Background Many constellations date back to ancient Mesopotamia and were later adopted by the Greeks and Romans, who wove them into their mythology. Before modern instruments, sailors used constellations like Ursa Minor — home of the North Star — to navigate open seas. The 88 official constellations were standardized by the International Astronomical Union in 1922, defining the sky map still used today.
