Moons
Above Nirn there are two moons: Masser, also known as Jode or Mara's Tear; and Secunda, also known as Jone or Stendarr's Sorrow. Masser is the larger of the two, well over twice as large by appearance. Since Secunda is sometimes seen to transit Masser, it is clear that Masser is indeed larger, not closer.Note 1 In Khajiiti legend, the motion of the moons constructs something called the "Lunar Lattice", which protects Mundus from the rest of Aetherius. Khajiit are born in differing forms depending on the current phases of the moons. See Khajiiti Morphology for details.
Constellations
There are thirteen named constellations in the sky. There are three Guardian signs; The Warrior, The Mage, and The Thief, each of which protects three charges. Each of these twelve signs corresponds to one of the twelve months in the Tamrielic year. The thirteenth sign, The Serpent, has no guardian or month and moves around the sky, usually threatening the other signs. The Firmament provides descriptions of all of the constellations, as quoted in the following sections.
In 2E 582, three Guardian signs — the Warrior, the Mage, and the Thief — fell from the sky and took on a mortal form known as Celestials.
The Dwemer have symbols for these constellations, which (except for The Serpent) correspond to letters in the Dwemer Alphabet.

Starmaps and the Orrery
Many cultures follow the passage of the stars.
The Dwemer
Undoubtedly the most advanced knowledge of the heavens comes via the relics of the Dwemer.
Of particular importance is the Orrery found in the Arcane University at the Imperial City in Cyrodiil which shows all the various planets and can even draw upon the power of Nirn's twin moons.
A second place of importance is upon the isle of Stros M'Kai where a Dwemer observatory lies.
The Yokuda
The Pre-Redguard Yokudan culture in particular was noted for its astrologers, who would make crude starmaps in their camps.
The Elder Scrolls
Finally, the Elder Scrolls themselves would seem to depict some sort of starmap, with various glyphs of unknown purpose adorning both the foreground and background.
Upon careful examination of the particular Elder Scroll depicted here, one can see an outline of The Thief constellation; this is highly appropriate, as this particular Elder Scroll was stolen from the Imperial Palace and used to break the curse on the Cowl of Nocturnal.
