For as long as humans have been looking up at the twinkling stars in the night sky, they have seen images of fantastic beasts and mighty gods looking back down at them. While cultures around the world have given names to the most prominent star patterns, astronomers today recognize 88 modern constellations largely based on classical Greek teachings. Of these, the constellations of the zodiac are perhaps the most well-known.

Sky-watchers have long placed special importance on the zodiac, since these constellations lie along the ecliptic, the path that the sun, the moon, and the planets follow across the sky. Test your astronomical knowledge, and try and identify these famous zodiac patterns.
