entry-content"><p>Constellation names, like the names of stars, come from a variety of sources and each has a different story and meaning behind it. The names of ancient constellations mostly come from Greek and Roman mythology, while most of the constellations created more recently were named after scientific instruments and exotic animals. The 88 constellation names and their meanings are <a href="#constellation_names">listed below.</a></p> <p>Constellation names that come from Greek mythology, including the names of the <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-map/zodiac-constellations/">zodiac constellations</a>, are the ones that are best known. These constellations were first catalogued by the Greek astronomer Claudius Ptolemy in the 2nd century CE. Ptolemy did not name these constellations, but simply documented them in his <em>Almagest</em>. The constellations were well known to observers long before his time.</p> <p>They include:</p> <ul> <li>Orion (the Hunter)</li> <li>Andromeda (the Chained Maiden)</li> <li>Cassiopeia (the Queen)</li> <li>Perseus</li> <li>Hercules</li> <li>Ursa Major (the Great Bear)</li> <li>Ursa Minor (the Small Bear)</li> <li>Canis Major (the Greater Dog)</li> <li>Canis Minor (the Smaller Dog)</li> <li>Auriga (the Charioteer)</li> <li>Draco (the Dragon)</li> <li>Cygnus (the Swan)</li> <li>Leo (the Lion)</li> <li>Aquarius (the Water Bearer)</li> </ul> <p>Names associated with figures from mythology were given to a number of prominent constellations. These include most of the members of the Perseus family (Perseus, Andromeda, Cassiopeia, Cetus, Cepheus, Pegasus, and Auriga), Hercules family (Hercules, Sagitta, Aquila, Lyra, Cygnus, Hydra, Crater, Corvus, Ophiuchus, Serpens, Centaurus, Lupus, Corona Australis, and Ara), Orion family (Orion, Canis Major, Canis Minor, Lepus, Monoceros), Zodiac family (Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpius, Sagittarius, Capricornus, Aquarius, Pisces), and Ursa Major family (Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Draco, Canes Venatici, Boötes, and Corona Borealis).</p> <p>Most of the modern constellations that were not catalogued by Ptolemy were created between the 16th and 19th centuries. Many of them were unknown to the Greeks because they lie in the far southern sky and are invisible from mid-northern latitudes.</p> <p>Twelve constellations were created by Dutch explorers who sailed to Indonesia in 1595. They were named after the animals the explorers encountered on their journeys. These constellations were first depicted on a celestial globe designed by the Dutch-Flemish astronomer Petrus Plancius in 1597/1598. They include:</p> <ul> <li>Apus (the Bird of Paradise)</li> <li>Chamaeleon</li> <li>Dorado (the Dolphinfish or Swordfish)</li> <li>Grus (the Crane)</li> <li>Tucana (the Toucan)</li> <li>Volans (the Flying Fish)</li> <li>Musca (the Fly)</li> </ul> <p>The Polish astronomer Johannes Hevelius added 10 new constellations in the 17th century. Seven of these are still in use:</p> <ul> <li>Canes Venatici (the Hunting Dogs)</li> <li>Lacerta (the Lizard)</li> <li>Leo Minor (the Smaller Lion)</li> <li>Lynx</li> <li>Scutum (the Shield)</li> <li>Sextans (the Sextant)</li> <li>Vulpecula (the Little Fox)</li> </ul> <div id="attachment_14778" style="width: 510px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-14778" class="lazy lazy-hidden wp-image-14778" src="//www.constellation-guide.com/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src="https://www.constellation-guide.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/constellation-names.webp" alt="names of constellations" width="500" height="351" srcset="" data-srcset="https://www.constellation-guide.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/constellation-names.webp 576w, https://www.constellation-guide.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/constellation-names-300x210.webp 300w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /> <noscript><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-14778" class="wp-image-14778" src="https://www.constellation-guide.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/constellation-names.webp" alt="names of constellations" width="500" height="351" srcset="https://www.constellation-guide.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/constellation-names.webp 576w, https://www.constellation-guide.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/constellation-names-300x210.webp 300w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></noscript> <p id="caption-attachment-14778" class="wp-caption-text">“Lacerta, Cygnus, Lyra, Vulpecula and Anser”, plate 14 in <em>Urania’s Mirror</em>, a set of celestial cards accompanied by <em>A familiar treatise on astronomy</em>… by Jehoshaphat Aspin. London, 1825. Author: Sidney Hall</p></div> <p>The last major group of constellations was created by the French astronomer Nicolas-Louis de Lacaille in the 18th century. Lacaille named most of his constellations after scientific instruments. He made his observations from the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa and his constellations are largely invisible to most northern observers. They include:</p> <ul> <li>Antlia (the Air Pump)</li> <li>Caelum (the Chisel)</li> <li>Fornax (the Furnace)</li> <li>Horologium (the Pendulum Clock)</li> <li>Microscopium (the Microscope)</li> <li>Pyxis (the Compass)</li> <li>Telescopium (the Telescope)</li> </ul> <p id="constellation_names"> <h2 style="text-align: center;">CONSTELLATION NAMES AND MEANINGS</h2> </p> <p>Below is the list of the names of the modern 88 constellations along with the stories behind them. The constellation names, abbreviations and boundaries were set by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in the 1920s. The genitive forms of constellation names are used in stellar designations (e.g. Alpha Centauri, Beta Tauri, Sigma Sagittarii).</p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Andromeda – The Chained Maiden</h3> <p style="text-align: center;">Genitive: <em>Andromedae</em></p> <p>Andromeda is one of the <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-names/greek-constellations/">Greek constellations</a>. It was named after Andromeda, the daughter of Queen Cassiopeia and King Cepheus in Greek mythology. Andromeda was chained and left for the sea monster Cetus to eat, and then saved by Perseus, whom she later married.</p> <p>Andromeda was sacrificed to Cetus to appease the gods and stop the monster from ravaging her land. Cetus was sent by the god Poseidon after Cassiopeia had boasted that she was more beautiful than the nymphs.</p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Antlia – The Air Pump</h3> <p style="text-align: center;">Genitive: <em>Antliae</em></p> <p>Antlia is one of the constellations created by the French astronomer Nicolas Louis de Lacaille in the 18th century. Lacaille originally named the constellation Antlia Pneumatica, or <em>Machine Pneumatique</em> in French, in honour of French physicist Denis Papin’s invention, the air pump. The name was later shortened to Antlia.</p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Apus – The Bird of Paradise</h3> <p style="text-align: center;">Genitive: <em>Apodis</em></p> <p>Apus represents the bird of paradise. The constellation’s name means “no feet” in Greek, referring to a western misconception of the bird of paradise not having feet. The constellation was created and named by the Dutch astronomer and cartographer Petrus Plancius in the late 16th century.</p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Aquarius – The Water Bearer</h3> <p style="text-align: center;">Genitive: <em>Aquarii</em></p> <p>Aquarius is one of the 48 Greek constellations. It is associated with Ganymede, the cup-bearer to the Olympian gods. In Greek mythology, Ganymede was the son of King Tros, known for giving the city of Troy its name. Ganymede was the most beautiful boy alive and Zeus was so infatuated with him that he took the form of an eagle and abducted the boy.</p> <p>In some versions of the myth, Zeus sent an eagle, represented by the constellation Aquila, to fetch Ganymede and bring him to Olympus.</p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Aquila – The Eagle</h3> <p style="text-align: center;">Genitive: <em>Aquilae</em></p> <p>Aquila constellation is associated with the eagle that held Zeus’ thunderbolts in Greek mythology, as well as with the eagle that abducted Ganymede and brought him to Olympus.</p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Ara – The Altar</h3> <p style="text-align: center;">Genitive: <em>Arae</em></p> <p>Ara represents the altar on which the gods formed an alliance before going to war with the Titans in Greek mythology. The gods were led by Zeus and the Titans by Atlas. It is said that Zeus placed the altar in the sky in honour of the gods’ victory. In various depictions of the constellation, the Milky Way represents the smoke rising from the altar.</p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Aries – The Ram</h3> <p style="text-align: center;">Genitive: <em>Arietis</em></p> <p>Aries is identified as the mythical winged ram with golden fleece that was sent by the nymph Nephele to save her son Phrixus after his father, King Athamas of Boeotia, had been given a false prophecy that he had to sacrifice his son to ward off famine. In the myth, Phrixus and his sister Helle climbed on the ram and were carried toward Colchis on the shore of the Black Sea. Helle lost her grip and fell into the Dardanelles on the way.</p> <p>The Greeks named the channel separating Europe and Asia the Hellerospont in her memory. The Golden Fleece was later the object of the Argonauts’ quest to Colchis.</p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Auriga – The Charioteer</h3> <p style="text-align: center;">Genitive: <em>Aurigae</em></p> <p>Auriga, the Charioteer, was said to have been placed in the sky by Zeus himself in honour of the charioteer and inventor Erichthonius of Athens. Erichthonius was the son of the god Hephaestus and he was raised by Athena, who taught him many skills. He was the first person to harness four horses to a chariot and is credited as the inventor of the the quadriga, the four-horse chariot. His chariot was said to have been made in the image of the Sun god’s chariot.</p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Boötes – The Herdsman</h3> <p style="text-align: center;">Genitive: <em>Boötis</em></p> <p>Boötes is one of the ancient Greek constellations. The constellation’s name means “the oxen-driver” and Boötes is usually identified as the ploughman who drove the oxen represented by Ursa Major. The constellation is also sometimes associated with Arctophylax, or the Bear Keeper, also referring to Ursa Major, the Big Bear.</p> <p>In another myth, Boötes represents Arcas, the son of Zeus and Callisto. In the myth, Callisto’s father King Lycaon decides to test Zeus to see if the god is really who he says he is and serves him his son Arcas for dinner. Seeing what Lycaon has done, Zeus does away with the king’s sons and turns Lycaon into a wolf, then collects the parts of his own son and makes him whole again. In the meantime, Arcas’ mother Callisto is turned into a bear, either by Zeus to disguise her and protect her from Hera’s revenge, or by the jealous Hera herself. When Arcas grows up, he comes face to face with his mother in the woods and does not recognize her. He starts to chase the bear and Zeus intervenes to prevent a tragedy, turning the mother and son into the constellations Ursa Major (Callisto) and Boötes (Arcas).</p> <p>Boötes constellation is also sometimes associated with another mythical figure: Icarius, the wine maker. Icarius was taught how to make wine by the god Dionysus and, when he offered some to a group of shepherds, they had a little too much of it and thought Icarius had poisoned them. The misunderstanding cost Icarius his life. Zeus placed the wine maker in the sky as the constellation Boötes.</p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Caelum – The Chisel</h3> <p style="text-align: center;">Genitive: <em>Caeli</em></p> <p>Caelum is one of the constellations created by Nicolas-Louis de Lacaille. Lacaille originally named the constellation Caelum Scalptorium (or <em>les Burins</em> in French), which is Latin for “the engraver’s chisel.”</p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Camelopardalis – The Giraffe</h3> <p style="text-align: center;">Genitive: <em>Camelopardalis</em></p> <p>The Latin word <em>camelopardalis</em> means “the giraffe.” It is a combination of the Greek words for the camel and the leopard. The Greeks came up with the word because the giraffe had spots like a leopard and a long neck like a camel.</p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Cancer – The Crab</h3> <p style="text-align: center;">Genitive: <em>Cancri</em></p> <p>Cancer represents Karkinos, a crab sent by Hera to distract Heracles when he was fighting the Lemean Hydra as part of his Twelve Labours. In the myth, Heracles kicked the crab so hard that it flew all the way into the sky, where it became a constellation. In a different version of the myth, Heracles crushed the crab underfoot and Hera placed it into the sky.</p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Canes Venatici – The Hunting Dogs</h3> <p style="text-align: center;">Genitive: <em>Canum Venaticorum</em></p> <p>The constellation Canes Venatici was created by the Polish astronomer Johannes Hevelius in the 17th century. It represents two hunting dogs led by Boötes, the Herdsman, following the Great Bear (Ursa Major).</p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Canis Major – The Great Dog</h3> <p style="text-align: center;">Genitive: <em>Canis Majoris</em></p> <p>Canis Major is one of the Greek constellations. It represents the bigger dog following the mythical hunter Orion in pursuit of a hare, represented by the constellation Lepus. The constellation is also sometimes associated with Laelaps, the fastest dog in the world, given to Europa by Zeus as a present.</p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Canis Minor – The Small Dog</h3> <p style="text-align: center;">Genitive: <em>Canis Minoris</em></p> <p>Canis Minor represents the smaller dog following Orion. The constellation is also sometimes associated with Maera, the dog that belonged to Icarius, the unlucky wine-maker who met his end at the hands of a group of shepherds who believed that he had poisoned them. Icarius is represented by the constellation Boötes.
