Monoceros, the Unicorn
Meaning “unicorn” in Latin, Monoceros is a faint
constellation lying in the Northern sky. Unlike most
constellations found in the 2nd century, Monoceros was
only introduced and cataloged in the 17th century by
the Dutch astronomer and cartographer Petrus Plancius.
The constellation Monoceros contains only two formally
named stars despite the constellation’s rather average
size. They are respectively called Citalá and Lusitânia.
