Although they vary widely by time and place, constellations have often played a significant role in many cultures, serving as navigational aids and as visual representations of myths and historical events. Therefore, an easy way to distinguish a Constructed World or fictional culture from a Real Life one is to give them different constellations, as well as tie those constellations back to some aspect of that world or culture. Stellification is when a character becomes a star or constellation. See also Fictional Zodiac, when the constellations serve as birthsigns. Often runs in tandem with Alien Sky on worlds other than Earth, especially if someone from Earth is present to remark on the differences. |

The sequel, Ōkamiden, adds another five constellations. In this case, the stars are already there, but they must be connected correctly to unlock the Brush God and their associated skill. | |

Dragon Age: Constellations are partially based on the religious leanings of ancient Tevinter, which at one time ruled the majority of the continent. They don't really become apparent to the player until Dragon Age: Inquisition, which utilizes them in a series of in-universe puzzles which lead the heroes to hidden treasure caches. | |

The Simpsons "Brother from the Same Planet": Homer gets an orphan to be a "Bigger Brother" to. When the orphan asks about constellations, Homer, who doesn't know any, starts rattling off random names and describing them all as "the Cowboy". "Bart's Comet": Principal Skinner points out some constellation to Bart: First is "The Chariot Race", which consists of a single star. Then "The Three Wise Men", which looks like an improbably detailed constellation of The Three Stooges. |

Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward introduced Astrologian, a healing Job that taps into The Power of the Sun, Lunacy and most importantly Star Power, for their magic. They gain their power by attuning their aether to that of six constellations: The Balance, The Bole, The Spire, The Ewer, The Arrow and the Spear, using Cards of Power (which references Tarot cards and their own use of zodiacal iconography). The six constellations are said to depict the six heavens, the homes of the Twelve. | |

Tolkien's Legendarium: Often subverted, as the names of constellations are fictional, but the constellations of Arda themselves are implied to be more or less identical with our real world's constellations due to the stories being set in a mythic prehistory of Europe. For example, hobbits of the Shire refer to the Big Dipper as "the Sickle", while the constellation known to the Elves as Menelmacar the Swordsman of the Sky is identified with Orion. | |

Nexus War: In the backstory, the four-pointed symbol of the Nexal death god Hashaa is said to be one of the few constellations visible in the plane of Purgatorio.

Mystery Science Theater 3000: The episode "Hercules" deconstructs the whole constellations-as-a-motif when Crow complains he doesn't see the figures of ancient legend in the night sky. Servo attempts to update the constellations to reflect "modern sensibilities", creating elaborate constructs such as "the Ham Sandwich", "the New Christy Minstrels" and, out of a mere eleven stars, "Picasso's Guernica." Frustrated, Crow comes back with a "modern" constellation of his own, consisting of two stars: | |

The Elder Scrolls: The thirteen Fictional Zodiac signs are based on constellations in their Alien Sky, twelve to represent each month and one that appears randomly. Each sign grants its own powers, and in different ways, depending on the game. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Westeros has different constellations. The Ice Dragon's blue eye is the setting's North Star, and at one point Jon and Ygritte talk about the different names the constellations have in their cultures. | |

Pokémon: There are various examples, all of them of the titular creatures. Pokémon Snap: One level has a constellation of Mewtwo as a secret. Other constellations seen in the Rainbow Cloud level include Kingler, Pinsir, Koffing, Cubone, and Dugtrio. Pokémon Channel has a camp the player can stargaze from, with multiple Pokemon constellations viewable. These constellations also showed up in the credits of Pokémon: Jirachi: Wish Maker. Pokémon Black and White introduced constellations based on the western zodiac; a couple of these appeared in the anime as well. |

Touhou Project: It's explained that youkai have their own constellations, distinct from those known by humans. Of particular note is that they consider the Big Dipper to be a dragon. Not just a pattern of stars that resembles a dragon, or is based on some mythological dragon, but an actual living dragon made up of stars that lives in the sky and seeks to swallow the North Star. | |

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: The Hermit's Hat is a constellation fictional even to the Tolkien's Legendarium because it was invented solely for the show. The Meteor Man was send to Middle-earth to find this particular constellation. He learns from the Three Mystics that he can find the constellation in the lands of Rhûn, in the far east. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: The 5th Edition sourcebook Tasha's Cauldron of Everything describes three constellations, The Archer, The Chalice and The Dragon, and the ways a druid who joins the Circle of Stars can draw power from each of them. Forgotten Realms: The major gods have their own constellations. In The Avatar Trilogy, a constellation based on the new Mystra's holy symbol (a circle of seven stars with a red mist in the middle) appears when she ascends to godhood. |

Doctor Who: Gallifrey is in the "constellation of Kasterborous". Exactly what this means is open to debate, given a constellation only exists from a certain frame of reference, and we're never given one. The Doctor Who Expanded Universe has come up with a number of theories, including that Time Lords define "constellations" four-dimensionally, which somehow means it's possible for Gallifrey's system to be in one from its own perspective; that it's a constellation in Earth's sky, but in the distant future; and that the Doctor meant to say "star system" but got confused. The same issues apply to other constellations the Doctor has used as reference points, including Scythia (location of Ribos, "The Ribos Operation"), Cetus (location of Varos, "Vengeance on Varos") and Canthares (location of the Canthares supernova, "Image of the Fendahl"). | |

The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack: In the short "Starry Night", Flapjack wants that Knuckles tell him all the constellation while the captain is trying to sleep. In order to sleep peacefully, Knuckles shows Flapjack a constellation called Peaceful Pirate (which apparently is sentient) and tells the boy that the pirate is peaceful because Flapjack isn't there. | |

Villains by Necessity: It's a plot point that the fictional constellation which is variously called by the names the Scarf in Bariga/the Six Lands, Moonblood to Nathauans, Fors Mor (the Great Waterfall) by the old druids and Selkin's Tail by the centaurs gets overlooked as a clue to Ki'kartha's Test. In Ki'kartha's culture, it symbolized her goddess Mula of Healing and Fresh Water, dubbed the Water-Giver because of this. It's described as a shining band of stars and possibly loosely based on the real Milky Way. | |

Night in the Woods: During Longest Night (equivalent to the real-life winter solstice), one pastime is to sit at a campfire and spot the thirteen constellations in the night sky. Gameplay in the supplemental game of the same name involves linking the stars. There's a "lost constellation" of which the Ghost Star is a part, featured in the second supplemental game, Lost Constellation. On certain days, Mae can find Mr. Chazokov on a roof to spot dusk stars, which are "wandering stars" only visible for a short period in spring and fall. Each dusk star has a name and character lore attached to it, such as Simone the Fighter and Castys. |

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power: After the first season, Bow's tracker pad begins getting random signals in First Ones script that everyone believes is a degraded message, as Adora is only able to make out the gibberish word "Serenia". They later learn it's not a message, but coordinates to Mara's ship relying on the placement of the constellation Serenia, named after one of the First Ones' mythological heroes. The protagonists didn't know because both the stars and the First Ones disappeared thousands of years ago, though luckily Bow's dads had records of the constellations in their library. | |

Ōkami: In order to summon each of the Celestial Brush Gods, Amaterasu must use her powers to complete the constellation associated with each brush god. There are fourteen in all, plus an enemy who is also summoned in a similar fashion. The sequel, Ōkamiden, adds another five constellations. In this case, the stars are already there, but they must be connected correctly to unlock the Brush God and their associated skill. |

Pokémon: The Series: Pokémon: The Original Series: In "A Friend In Deed", Ash and Ritchie are tracking Team Rocket (up to their usual hijinks) and decide to pitch camp for the night. Looking up at the stars, they trace lines between them to form images of specific Pokémon. Pokémon: Jirachi: Wish Maker: The film's closing credits rolls across a number of real-world constellations with Pokémon reskins. The very last constellation appears as a single, shiny star that dissolves into one of the dots on Pikachu's cheeks. |

Strong Bad Email: In "myths & legends", Strong Bad identifies a number of "Strong Badian" constellations: the snake seen on the Strong Badian flag, a man with a big knife, a hand giving the "OK" signal, a board with nails in it, a carton of General Tso's chicken, a fish wearing an afro wig, and a British distance runner. The latter two are said to have "combined forces to defeat the others... in paintball... or maybe Red Rover" and became the inspiration for the Bear Holding a Shark that protects Strong Badia's fence. | |

All of the monsters within are constellations that are also Double Entendres for male or female genitalia, such as "the Burrowing Bishop," "the Trouser Snake," or "the Little Man in the Canoe".

Dragonlance: The gods each have their own constellation in the night sky — Paladine's is a platinum dragon, Reorx's is a hammer, and Takhisis's is a multiheaded dragon, for example. When a god is active on Krynn, their constellation vanishes from the sky. In the Bad Future where Raistlin defeated the gods to take a place among them, his new constellation (an hourglass) is dominant in the sky, pushing the constellations of the remaining gods aside. | |
