What is the most recently created constellation?

Have there been any new ones recently? Or have we used the same ones for hundreds of years?|||Constellations are nothing but imaginary figures made up by joining stars using straight lines so that stars may be identified with ease. Its much like the co-ordinates system. In earlier times, astronomer were free to make and break constellation or edit them. But after the formation of IAU, 88 constellations have been recognised. So I dont think there any new addition to the list, atleast not officially.|||Constellations are defined, and the 88 we have that cover the entire sky have been defined for many, many years.|||The constellation Camry.





Formed in the Andromeda Galaxy on December 28, 2009.





Looks like my pickup truck.
