What is really strange is how many supposedly random stars fall in gently curved string-of-pearls patterns. Stars within clusters aren't randomly dispersed. They share a common origin and so remain at least somewhat gravitationally bound to each other. The Pleiades is an "open" star cluster. In OSCs, the stars are more loosely bound and slowly drifting away from each other, whereas in "globular" clusters, the stars are much more tightly packed.

It should be mentioned that many constellations are made up of stars that are nowhere near each other, except from our perspective.
