Delphinus, the Dolphin
Meaning “the dolphin” in Latin, Delphinus represents the
dolphin that Poseidon had sent to find Amphitrite, the woman
he wished to marry. This constellation is also one of the
smallest in the sky, spanning only 189 square degrees.
Delphinus contains only five formally named stars: Aldulfin
(Epsilon Delphini), Musica (18 Delphini), Rotanev (Beta
Delphini A), Shama (HAT-P-23), and Sualocin (Alpha Delphini
Aa).
