A constellation

• is a pattern or group of stars that people imagine represents a figure, animal, or object

• "Ge" is the Greek word for Earth. Therefore, it is an Earth centered model.

• "Helios is the Greek word for Sun. Therefore, it is a sun-centered model.

• an oval shape, rather than a perfect circle. It is an orbit of each planet
