A Talk About Constellations

There are currently 88 constellations officially recognized worldwide. The largest in area in the sky is 'Hydra', stretching across the spring sky, while the smallest is 'Crux', famously known as the Southern Cross. In the past, there was also a constellation of a large sailing ship called 'Argo Navis', but it was too large and difficult to manage, so it has now been divided into four: 'Carina', 'Vela', 'Puppis', and 'Pyxis'. Additionally, there are rare constellations with just a single letter in their name. Besides 'Yara' (which can be seen in Japan), there are 'Puppis' and 'Pyxis' visible in the Southern Hemisphere, making a total of three. By the way, 'Capricorn', familiar from horoscopes, isn't just a regular goat. In Greek mythology, when the gods were fleeing from a monster, they panicked and failed their transformation, resulting in the peculiar depiction of a creature with the upper body of a goat and the lower body of a fish.
