== Constellation ==
A constellation is a set of lines that are connected (either by sharing the same star or intersecting).

A constellation must contain a minimum of 3 lines and a maximum of 8 to score points . A single line, 2 connected lines, or a set of 9 or more lines are not constellations. Shooting stars are not constellations.

For each constellation, the player earns a number of victory points equal to the number of lines in that constellation. However, if several constellations contain the same number of lines, only 1 of them earns victory points . The player marks on their board the constellations they have drawn and adds up the points. In this way, it is possible to earn up to 33 points if all 6 possible constellations are drawn (of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 lines).

== Planets and Shooting Stars ==
Each planet awards a number of points equal to the number of constellations adjacent to it, even if these constellations have an identical number of lines.

Each shooting star awards 1 point for each line in it.

== Point Bonus cards ==
Completing the shape for a Point Bonus card grants the number of bonus points indicated on the bonus card. This is recorded on the score sheet under the 5-sided star. You can complete the shape more than once for more than one bonus.
