* Constellations are not physical objects: Constellations are patterns of stars that we see from Earth. The stars in a constellation are at vastly different distances from us.
* Variable distances: The stars within Crater are spread out over a large volume of space. Some stars are relatively close to us, while others are incredibly far away.
To get a sense of the range, you could consider the distances of some of the brightest stars in Crater:
* Alkes (β Crateris): Around 100 light-years away.
* Labrum (α Crateris): Approximately 150 light-years away.
Remember: These are just two examples, and many other stars in Crater are located at different distances.
