I don’t understand how one night a guy looked at the stars and said that if you draw a line between certain stars you can see a lion. And also were they chosen at random?

Recently found myself in the Scottish Highlands when it all made sense to me. Never have I seen a sky anywhere near as clear as I did there, it looked like there were more stars than the sky could fit. The constellations, however, really stood out, even amongst this high and dense population. They were far brighter than their neighbours and it was clear to me what was what and was the first time I understood how people can look at the mess of stars and create and remember constellations.
