Constellations

Constellations are a power-up mechanic in the Beyond, in which possession of them gives unique bonuses. Currently, there are 31 constellations, the 12 zodiacs, 11 of the northern and 8 of the southern celestial hemisphere.
Constellations use the currency of Constellation Fragments , which can be obtained in the Galactic Nursery, as well as the Constellation Astronomy Mission, which yields up to three fragments, and generator upgrades. All of these methods can yield up to three constellation fragments as a bonus, and some can even give five.
Currently, unlocking all constellations requires 424 Constellation Fragments.
==List of Constellations==
Icon 	Rank 	Name 	No. of Stars	Description 	Effects 						
Zodiac 	Zodiac 	Zodiac 	Zodiac 	Zodiac 	Zodiac 						
 	3 	Gemini 	17 	The constellation Gemini represents a pair of twins. The two brightest stars in this constellation are named Castor and Pollux, after a pair of brothers in Greek mythology. 	Increase Research Boost by +1x while boost is active						
 	3 	Taurus 	12 	Taurus, the bull, marked the location of the Sun during the spring equinox in Bronze Age Europe. Taurus contains two important clusters of stars, the Pleiades and the Hyades. 	Increase Gaseous Planet speed by ×2 						
 	3 	Aries 	4 	Aries, the ram, is a dim, medium-sized constellation in the Northern celestial hemisphere. It was identified in the time of Ancient Babylon, along with most of the other Zodiac constellations. 	Increase Star speed by ×2 						
 	3 	Pisces 	15 	Pisces represents a pair of fish. The spring equinox occurs in Pisces. Although it’s one of the largest constellations in the Zodiac, it’s quite dim and can be hard to see with the naked eye. 	Increase Click Power by ×3 						
 	3 	Aquarius 	15 	The constellation Aquarius represents a water seller carrying a jug. Three meteor showers originate here, including the Eta Aquariids, which are associated with Halley’s Comet. Aquarius is large and encompasses 12 exoplanet systems. 	Increase Oort Cloud Object speed by ×2 						
 	3 	Capricorn 	10 	Capricorn represents a half-goat, half-fish creature. It is the smallest constellation in the Western Zodiac. In ancient times, it marked the location of the Sun at the winter solstice. It is one of the fainter constellations. 	Increase Asteroid speed by ×2 						
 	3 	Sagittarius 	14 	Sagittarius, the archer, is usually represented by an image of a centaur aiming a bow and arrow. The galactic center of the Milky Way is located in Sagittarius, and the constellation contains many star clusters and nebulae. 	Increase Dwarf Planet speed by ×2 						
 	3 	Scorpio 	17 	One of the brightest constellations in the sky, Scorpio represents a scorpion. It includes the red star Antares, sometimes called the “heart of the scorpion” because of its placement and color. 	Increase Celestial Body speed by ×1.5 						
 	3 	Libra 	6 	Libra represents a pair of weighing scales. Its appearance begins the autumnal equinox, when day and night are equal lengths. Libra is home to the star system Gliese 581, considered one of the best candidates for life on other planets. 	Increase Moon speed by ×2 						
 	3 	Virgo 	14 	Virgo, the virgin, is the home of the Virgo Cluster. This constellation contains the galaxy M87, the home of the first supermassive black hole ever photographed by humans. 	Increase Comet speed by ×2 						
 	3 	Leo 	13 	Shaped like a crouching lion, the constellation Leo is easy to find in the night sky because of its many bright stars. Wolf 359, one of the closest stars to Earth, is located in Leo. 	Increase Ice Planet speed by ×2 						
 	3 	Cancer 	6 	Cancer, the crab, is the dimmest constellation in the zodiac. The Tropic of Cancer, the northernmost circle of latitude on Earth where the Sun passes directly overhead, is named after it. 	Increase Terrestrial Planet speed by ×2 						
Northern	Northern	Northern 	Northern 	Northern 	Northern 						
 	18 	Ursa Major 	19 	Ursa Major, the “Great Bear,” is the largest constellation in the Northern Hemisphere, rotating nightly around Polaris, the North Star. The seven stars of the Big Dipper form its tail and back. Merak and Dubhe point the way to Polaris in the Little Dipper. 	Increase Main Sequence speed by ×2 						
 	20 	Ursa Minor 	7 	Ursa Minor, the “Little Bear,” features Polaris and the Little Dipper, which adds a long celestial tail. (Real bears don’t have tails.) The week of December 17 features the Ursids, an annual show of meteors courtesy of the dust from Comet 8P/Tuttle. 	Increase Giant speed by ×1.5 						
 	21 	Lyra 	6 	Lyra depicts the stringed instrument of Orpheus, a mythical Greek poet said to charm rocks and streams with his songs. Vega, a dazzling white dwarf, is the baseline for comparing color and brightness in other stars. Its apparent magnitude is 0.0. 	Increase Earth Like speed by x1.5 						
 	22 	Perseus 	19 	With his pointy head and boxy chest, Greek hero Perseus stands by Andromeda, his wife. In mid-August, during Earth’s annual whoosh through the dust of comet Swift-Tuttle, gaze their way at the Perseid meteor shower. It’s visible worldwide but flashiest in the north. 	Increase Nebula speed by x2 						
 	23 	Cygnus 	11 	This great Swan in flight, traced head to tail and wingtip to wingtip by two lines of stars, is also called the Northern Cross. Deneb (“tail” in Arabic) marks the bird’s tail and the top of the cross. This blue supergiant star will go supernova in a few million years.	Increase Black Hole speed by x1.5 						
 	24 	Auriga 	9 	The Charioteer clutches a whip while carrying Zeus’s goat over his shoulder, a point marked by the bright star Capella. The “Goat Star” is actually an unusual pair of pairs—two closely orbiting blue stars and two binary red dwarfs. 	Set all Red Dwarf missions duration to 6 hours 						
 	24 	Serpens 	10 	The long belly of the Serpent is hidden by the grasping hands and body of Ophiuchus, the Serpent Bearer. Only its tail (left) and V-shaped head emerge, marked by a triangle of bright stars. The Eagle Nebula, visible with a small telescope, nests in the tail. 	Increase Diffuse speed by x1.5 						
 	25 	Hercules 	21 	The Roman warrior-god who defeated the Nemean lion (Leo), the Crab (Cancer), and Hydra, too, has a broad, squarish chest made of four stars, called the Keystone. Mighty Hercules is kneeling over Draco, the dragon he slew. 	Increase Milky Way Galaxy speed by x2 						
 	27 	Ophiuchus 	20 	The Serpent Bearer’s snake is a healer, not a killer. The Rod of Asclepius, the symbol of medicine, is a single snake coiled on a rod. The constellation features Barnard’s Star and Zeta Ophiuchi, a runaway blue giant spinning so fast that it’s close to tearing apart. 	Increase Galaxy speed by x2 						
 	27 	Andromeda 	16 	To find the Chained Maiden, first look for her mother, Cassiopeia, a W-shaped constellation that crowns her head. Andromeda escaped her shackles and the sea monster Cetus with help from Perseus, who fell in love while galloping past on his winged horse, Pegasus. 	Increase Spiral speed by x1.5 						
 	27 	Pegasus 	13 	The Winged Horse triumphs as one of the largest constellations in the sky. The Great Square of four bright stars stands out, forming a broad, mostly dark torso. The star 51 Pegasi hosts the first exoplanet discovered around a sunlike star, in 1995. 	Increase Satellite speed by x1.5

==Trivia==
*The developers have confirmed that more constellations are coming to the game in the near future. It seems likely at least two constellations are added every chapter.
