Full List of 88 Major Star Constellations

Here’s the list of star constellations in alphabetical order. All 88 official constellations are listed.

Some lists actually will have 89 or 90 constellations listed. This is because Serpens is divided into two separate constellations.

Officially it is one and I listed it as such but it is split by Ophiuchus the serpent holder into Serpens Caput (the head) and Serpens Cauda (the tail).
