> Some of the Northern Sky's former constellations were placed in the less populated regions between the traditional brighter constellations just to fill gaps. In the Southern Sky, new constellations were often created from about the 15th century [...] European countries [...] often supported and popularised their own constellation outlines. In some cases, different constellations occupied overlapping areas and included the same stars.
