Astronomers divided the sky into areas, as perceived from earth, so as to create a consistent spherical map, rather like the markings on a football pitch.
In this way, 88 areas or constellations were formed. Only a handful of stars bear names, arising from Arabic, Greek and Roman mythology.
The vast majority of stars are referred to only by their astronomical co-ordinates or catalogue numbers. They are unnamed and there are millions and millions of them. So why not name one after someone special?
