How to use constellation in a sentence?

1. Peter Arno:

   If you add up all these factors, you have a constellation of things that will make it very difficult for young people down the road, that's why Social Security is crucially important for both this generation and younger people. Joining forces between older folks in the boomer generation and the millennial generation offers a tremendous strategic opportunity to bolster the long-term stability of Social Security.

2. Ellen Meade:

   If I had to qualify them as the hawkish- or dovish-leaning, I would say that last year’s constellation was a reasonably hawkish one, and this year’s constellation is almost certainly not quite as hawkish.

3. Friedrich Nietzsche:

   Altered opinions do not alter a man's character (or do so very little); but they do illuminate individual aspects of the constellation of his personality which with a different constellation of opinions had hitherto remained dark and unrecognizable.

4. Andrew Dempster:

   Beidou was obviously designed a few decades after GPS, so it has had the benefit of learning from the GPS experience, it has some signals that have higher bandwidth, giving better accuracy. It has fewer orbit planes for the satellites, making constellation maintenance easier.

5. Aaron Baggish:

   There's not a medication in the world that I know of that's going to treat that constellation of symptoms.
