  -> The problem with the figures of stars is that it can be construed as shapes of star constellations such as the Big Dipper.

neutral  Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D.: As I said in response to your comments, "figures" brings to mind the geometry of star constellations, not of individual stars. Chandrasekhar speaks of "ellipsoidal figures of equilibrium."

  -> It doesn't matter. This is the right term. It's not about shapes which in Polish is "kształty".
