Astronomy Constellations are just a group of stars we arbitrarily name. The stars are nowhere near each other. What we see as 4 stars very close together can actually be a nearer dim star, Generic pills whithout prescription a medium bright star, and two very bright stars a thousand light years farther away.
As far as objects orbiting stars; Of course you can have binary star systems (with or without planets). Extra-solar planets are classified the same as our neighbors. The problem is, because of the distances involved, we have a hard time detecting anything except very large planets. Kepler will help search for Earth-like planets better than anything we've had yet.
