From Earth, some stars in the night sky appear to form shapes with other stars. These shapes are called constellations. They are often named after the shapes people think the stars form. Some people have thought that one set of stars looks like a hunter. This constellation is named Orion, after a mythical Greek hunter. People have thought that another set of stars looks like a bear. This constellation is named Ursa Major, which means “larger bear” in Latin.
