for various reasons are no longer widely recognised or are not <a href="/wiki/IAU_designated_constellations" title="IAU designated constellations">officially recognised</a> by the <a

more countries or cultures. Some only lasted decades but others were referred to over many centuries. All are now recognised only for having classical or historical value.<sup id="cite_ref-Ridpath2018_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Ridpath2018-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Many former constellations had complex <a href="/wiki/Latin" title="Latin">Latinised</a> names after objects, people, or mythological or zoological creatures.<sup id="cite_ref-Ridpath2018_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Ridpath2018-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Others with unwieldy names were shortened for convenience. For example, Scutum Sobiescianum was reduced to <a href="/wiki/Scutum_(constellation)" title="Scutum (constellation)">Scutum</a>, Mons Mensae to <a href="/wiki/Mensa_(constellation)" title="Mensa (constellation)">Mensa</a>, and Apparatus Sculptoris to <a href="/wiki/Sculptor_(constellation)" title="Sculptor (constellation)">Sculptor</a>. </p><p>Some of the <a href="/wiki/Northern_celestial_hemisphere" title="Northern celestial hemisphere">Northern Sky</a>'s former constellations were placed in the less populated regions between the traditional brighter constellations just to fill gaps. In the <a href="/wiki/Southern_celestial_hemisphere" title="Southern celestial hemisphere">Southern Sky</a>, new constellations were often created from about the 15th century by voyagers who began journeying south of the <a href="/wiki/Equator" title="Equator">Equator</a>. European countries like England, France, the Netherlands, German or Italian states, etc., often supported and popularised their own constellation outlines. In some cases, different constellations occupied overlapping areas and included the same stars. These former constellations are often found in older books, <a href="/wiki/Star_chart" title="Star chart">star charts</a>, or <a href="/wiki/Star_catalogue" title="Star catalogue">star catalogues</a>. </p><p>The 88 modern constellation names and boundaries were standardised by <a href="/wiki/Eug%C3%A8ne_Joseph_Delporte" title="Eugène Joseph Delporte">Eugene Delporte</a> for the IAU in 1930, under an international agreement, removing any possible astronomical ambiguities between astronomers from different countries.<sup id="cite_ref-Lachièze-ReyLuminet2001_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Lachièze-ReyLuminet2001-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Nearly all former or defunct constellations differ in their designated boundaries in as much as they have outlines that do not follow the exact lines of <a href="/wiki/Right_ascension" title="Right ascension">right ascension</a> and <a href="/wiki/Declination" title="Declination">declination</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Noteworthy_former_constellations">Noteworthy former constellations</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Former_constellations&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Noteworthy former constellations"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Argo_Navis">Argo Navis</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Former_constellations&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Argo Navis"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Argo_Navis" title="Argo Navis">Argo Navis</a> is the only constellation from <a href="/wiki/Ptolemy" title="Ptolemy">Ptolemy</a>'s original list of 48 constellations that is no longer officially recognized.
