Chinese Zodiac
| Stars |
| The sky is full of countless number of stars. With a few exceptions, these stars maintain their positions relative to each other ( with small changes even over several years). |
| Constellations |

The Chinese astronomers define 28 constellations, which are different from the Greek/Western system of constellations. |
