Camelopardalis, the Giraffe

Meaning “camel-leopard” in Greek, Camelopardalis was only documented in the 17th century by a German astronomer named Jakob Bartsch, unlike many other constellations established in the 2nd century. As the 18th largest constellation in the sky with an area of 757 square degrees, Camelopardalis belongs to the Ursa Major family of constellations.

Despite its large size, Camelopardalis has only two formally named stars: Mago and Tonatiuh.
