it's very difficult to make constellation drawings in space.

They have to move with the earth
but be synchronized so they remain lined up with the stars in the constellation.
They have to be far enough away so that they appeared lined up with the constellation even when two people at opposite sides of the earth are viewing.
Yet they have to be big enough that people can easily see there is a line there.
