Antlia
Antlia (
IPA: , ) is a relatively new constellation as it was only created in the
18th century, being too faint to be acknowledged by the ancient Greeks. The
IAU adopted it as one of the 88 modern constellations. Beginning at the north, Antlia is surrounded by the sea snake
Hydra, the compass
Pyxis, the sails (
Vela) of the mythological ship
Argo and finally the centaur
Centaurus.
