Varda was the wife of Manwe, the head Vala. She was also known as Elbereth in Lord of the Rings. She was the maker of the stars.

The first things the elves saw was starlight, they exclaimed "el" thus el=star in Quenya, and Eldar=people of the stars (the high elves)

Menelmacar, is also known as 'The Swordsman of the Sky'
In the index of the Silmarillion, it refers to this as a ME version of the constellation of Orion. This of course was made and set in the sky by Varda, the wife of Manwe, highest ranked female Ainur.
