Constellations
This is a list of constellations in our Universe. This is not all of them. Constellations are just patterns that we can visualize and see in the night sky. The actual galaxies are what hold all the stars and planets. There are hundreds of billions of Galaxies, in our Universe. Our galaxy “The Milky Way,” is colliding with the “Andromeda Galaxy” at a rate of seventy miles per second. The Andromeda constellation, is different from the Andromeda Galaxy. There are over 1 trillion stars in the Andromeda Galaxy alone, which is twice what there is in our Milky Way Galaxy.
