Remmirath
From Tolkien Gateway
Remmirath, or the Netted Stars,[1] was a constellation in the skies over Arda.
Though not mentioned specifically, Remmirath's origin is likely the same to that of other constellations: it was created by Varda to signal the Elves to Valinor.[2] The constellation has been identified as the modern constellation Pleiades.[3]
