I believe the answer is:

tessellation

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'mosaic' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'satellites on move' is the wordplay.
'move' indicates anagramming the letters.
'satellites'+'on'='satelliteson'
'satelliteson' with letters rearranged gives 'TESSELLATION'.

'construction showing' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tessellation that I've seen before include "fit" , "Decoration with mosaics" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
