listed by the 2nd century astronomer
Ptolemy, and it remains one of the 88
modern constellations.

zodiac. Its name is Latin for "horned goat" or
"goat horn" or "having horns like a goat's", and it
is commonly represented in the form of a sea

fish.

Capricornus is one of the 88 modern

constellations listed by the 2nd century
astronomer Claudius Ptolemy.

The constellation was created by Petrus

Plancius who made a fairly large celestial
globe from the observations of Pieter
Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman. The
first depiction of this constellation in a
celestial atlas followed in Johann Bayer's
Uranometria of 1603.
INDUS
Indus is a constellation in the southern sky
first professionally surveyed by Europeans
in the 1590s and mapped on a globe by Petrus
Plancius by early 1598.

It was included on a plate illustrating

southern constellations in Bayer's sky
atlas Uranometria in 1603. It lies well south
of the Tropic of Capricorn but its
triangular shape can be seen for most of
the year from the Equator.

The English translation of its name is

generally given as the Indian, though it is
unclear which indigenous people the
constellation was originally supposed to
represent.
