Please help!|||If you Google ANY constellation you will get several different pictures, names, and objects. They have as many stories as there are people who have looked up at the sky.


Roman


Greek


Egyptian

This is fantastic freeware that you can download. it is an interactive star chart. Tell it where you are and it will tell you what you see. Ask it where something is and it will tell you. This will answer this question for you now plus many more like these in the future.|||It is a southern constellation not visible from the United States. It is pretty much just a triangle of 3 bright stars from the look of the Wikipedia page on it.|||The International Astronomical Union defines only the boundaries for the constellations. How they "connect the dots" to make constellation figures is up to individual authors. Probably the best known figures are by H. A. Rey, who also wrote the Curious George stories.
