Geometric patterns are defined by a spatial distribution of a set of objects. They can be found in many spatial datasets as in seismic, astronomy , and transportation. A particular interesting geometric pattern is exhibited by the Einstein cross, which is an astronomical phenomenon in which a single quasar is observed as four distinct sky objects when captured by earth telescopes. Finding such crosses, as well as other geometric patterns, collectively referred to as constellation queries, is a

In this paper we propose algorithms to optimize the computation of constellation queries. Our techniques involve pre-processing the query to reduce its di-mensionality as well as indexing the data to fasten stars neighboring computation using a PH-tree. We have implemented our techniques in Spark and evaluated our techniques by a series of experiments. The PH-tree indexing showed very good results and guarantees query answer completeness.
