Yes, if by that you mean are all of the stars contained within our galaxy. No, if by that you mean do all of the constellations lie within the plane of our galaxy that you see in the sky.

Hi. Yes they are, but a footnote. In 1987 a star went supernova in one of the Magellanic clouds (galaxies close to but outside of the Milky Way galaxy). It was visible to the naked eye.

Yes...all the stars you can see with the naked eye are within our galaxy...therefore, all the constellations consist of stars from our galaxy. Stars from outside our galaxy are too far away to resove into stars with the naked eye.

Yes they are. Every star you can see without a telescope is in the Milky Way galaxy.
Actually, I agree 100% with eri.
