Since ancient times, people have connected the dots of stars to form pictures—mighty hunters, roaring lions, mysterious creatures—each with a tale to tell. These patterns are called constellations. But what if those stories could come to life in the form of riddles?
Welcome to the world of Constellation Riddles—where the stars ask questions, and you become the storyteller and the solver. It’s a fun and imaginative way to learn about the stars, their legends, and the science behind them—one riddle at a time. So, are you ready to crack the codes of the cosmos?
Let the starry riddles begin!
I’m a hunter in the starry sky,
With a belt that catches the eye.
I’m shaped like a dipper, but not for stew,
I help you find the North Star too.
With claws that pinch and a sting that bites,
You’ll find me glowing on summer nights.
Two fish swim across the sky,
Bound together, flying high.
A lion roars with stars so bright,
I rule the skies with fiery might.
I’m the water carrier, pouring with grace,
Yet I shine in the heavens, taking my place.
A bull with horns, strong and wide,
You’ll see me when spring stars collide.
I’m the twin of myth and lore,
My brother and I the night skies explore.
My name means “balance,” I hold the scales,
Even in the stars, justice prevails.
I’m the crab that crawls the sky,
You’ll find me where the stars lie.
I dip, I pour, I shine at night,
In the southern sky, I’m a watery sight.
I’m the sea goat, old and wise,
Half fish, half beast in the skies.
My arrow’s aimed, my flight is set,
Through starry paths, my course is met.
With wings I soar, a swan so bright,
I swim through the milky light.
I’m the princess chained in starry lore,
Rescued by a hero of yore.
My dogs are stars, I lead the chase,
Running forever in outer space.
I’m a bear, but not with fur,
My stars make a curve that likes to stir.
I hold the pole in silent grace,
Helping sailors find their place.
I’m not a horse, but I have wings,
Galloping where the night owl sings.
I am the chained hero with sword in hand,
Slayer of monsters, across the land.
A triangle shines, small but proud,
In autumn’s sky, not very loud.
I’m a serpent held without a bite,
In the healer’s arms, I’m wrapped so tight.
Though I’m not a dragon you’d fear,
I wind through stars that now appear.
I’m the ship that used to sail,
With stars that tell an ancient tale.
A triangle bright, a flying dart,
Named after a bird with a glowing heart.
