Actually, each of the constellations we see have hundreds of different names and ideas of what they're supposed to look like. Different cultures all around the world have been naming the constellations for as long as they've looked up at the night sky. For example, what we call Ursa Major (the great bear, or big dipper) was known as a parrot to the Maya, a sick man on a stretcher to the Pawnee Indians, seven wise men to the Hindus, the thigh and leg of a bull to the Egyptians, and the emperor's chariot to the Chinese. The names and pictures we usually use were invented by the Greeks.
