Category:Constellations

Constellation refers to an area of the celestial sphere, defined by exact boundaries.

Classic and modern constellations
47 constellations exist since the Classic Age. They were listed by the Roman astronomer Ptolemy. Each of them is associated to mythology.

24 more constellations were created between 1592 and 1690. There are no myths associated with them, with a few exceptions.

In the Age column, C stands for "Classic age constellation", while M for "Modern age constellation".

The numbers in the Rank column have the following meanings:
 * 1 = Gold Cloth/Saint
 * 1.5 = Unknown Cloth/Saint
 * 2 = Silver Cloth/Saint
 * 2.5 = Anime-only Cloth/Saint
 * 3 = Bronze Cloth/Saint
 * 3.5 = Steel Cloth/Saint

The following table lists all the Cloths and Characters that appeared in the Mangas, plus a few from the anime.
