··· 1 1 # Asterism 2 2 3 + > **asterism** (n.) — a group of stars that forms a pattern in the night sky, but may or may not be an official constellation. 4 + > — [Cambridge Dictionary](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/asterism) 5 + 3 6 Asterism is an [AT Protocol](https://atproto.com) link index that consumes events from across the network. At its core, Asterism is a drop-in replacement for [Constellation](https://constellation.microcosm.blue/), and implements a compatible API. It is intended for app developers that want to own their own stack without rewriting their apps. 4 7 5 8 Constellation is vital community infrastructure, and many ATProto apps have been built on its back, including my own, [atbbs.xyz](https://atbbs.xyz/). It can be run on a Raspberry Pi with modest storage requirements, thanks in part to its dependency on Jetstream, which provides a nice, reasonable JSON stream for events.
