It's difficult to definitively say who *first* recorded constellations. The practice likely goes back to pre-history, with early humans recognizing patterns in the stars and associating them with their beliefs and stories.

Here's what we *do* know:

* Ancient Babylonians: Around 2000 BCE, they documented constellations and created star catalogs, which were some of the earliest known. Their observations influenced later civilizations.

* Ancient Egyptians: They also had their own star charts and associated constellations with their gods and mythology.

* Ancient Greeks: They further developed the concept of constellations, naming them after mythological figures and heroes. The constellation names we use today are mostly derived from Greek mythology.

So, while we can't pin down a single person, the ancient Babylonians, Egyptians, and Greeks all made significant contributions to the early recording and understanding of constellations.
