Question 1444Navigation General

The correct answer is C) constellation. A constellation is a group of stars that appear close together in the night sky and form a distinctive pattern or configuration, such as a person, animal, or mythological figure. This is the defining characteristic of a constellation, which makes it the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because: A) A galaxy is a massive, gravitationally bound system consisting of stars, stellar remnants, interstellar gas, dust, and dark matter. B) A cluster refers to a group of stars that are gravitationally bound together, but do not necessarily form a recognizable pattern. D) A shower refers to a recurring, periodic increase in the number of meteors or "shooting stars" visible in the night sky.
