For centuries, people have looked at the stars and found pictures to reflect legends and stories. The pictures drawn in the sky were thought to be sent down to the heavens, in order to show great accomplishments or role models. Stars were also looked at as loved ones watching over their descendants. Each season has different constellations, pictures in the sky, that are clear to see.
