Constellations of Grus and Piscis Austrinus - The Crane is a constellation in the southern hemisphere, located just below the Southern Fish. Grus (the Crane) is meant to represent a water bird, which may be a crane or perhaps a flamingo. This stellar grouping was introduced by Johann Bayer in his star atlas of 1603. Because of its location in the southern sky it is not visible from north latitudes above 40 degrees. Even if it were visible, it would hardly be remarked upon. Piscis Austrinus (the Southern Fish) once included Grus, and nowadays represents the Southern Fish, drinking from the water poured by Aquarius, adjoining it to the north. Piscis Austrinus was one of Ptolemy's 48 constellations and its brightest star is Fomalhaut, a name drived from the English for fish's mouth

Aquarius Constellations, Capricorn, Austral Fish and Microscope - Constellations of Aquarius, Capricorn, Piscis Austrinus, Microscopium - Field around the Aquarius constellation. The Helix planetary nebula appears as a red dot towards the center of the image. Aquarius (The Water Carrier) is a large but relatively insconspicuous southern zodiacal constellation and has an area of about 980 square degrees, which makes it the 10th largest. Its origins as a constellation can be traced back to Babylonian times and has usually been delineated as a figure pouring water from a jar in the general direction of Capricornus and Piscis Austrinus, themselves quite watery constellations. The Sun is in this part of the sky in February and March, following the Ecliptic. The constellation embraces many objects of telescopic interest, including the Helix nebula and the Mira - like variable star R Aquarii. Also notable are the globular clusters M2 (NGC 7089) and the Saturn planetary nebula NGC 7009. Best s

Interacting galaxies in the Austral Fish - Interacting galaxies in Piscis Austrinus - The galaxies NGC 7173 (middle left), NGC 7174 (middle right) and NGC 7176 (bottom right) photographed here by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), belong to a cluster of galaxies called Hickson Compact Group 90 (HCG 90), located about 100 million years ago lights in the constellation of Southern Fish. NGC 7173 and NGC 7176 are two elliptical galaxies while NGC 7174 is a spiral galaxy deformed by the gravitational forces exerted by its neighbors. The three pictured galaxies - - NGC 7173 (middle left), NCG 7174 (middle right) and NGC 7176 (lower right) - - are part of the Hickson Compact Group 90, named after astronomer Paul Hickson, who first catalogued these small clusters of galaxies in the 1980s. NGC 7173 and NGC 7176 appear to be smooth, normal elliptical galaxies without much gas and dust. In stark contrast, NGC 7174 is a mangled spiral galaxy, barely clinging to independent existence as it is ripped

Planet around the star Fomalhaut - Planet orbiting star Fomalhaut - First visible light photo of an extrasolar planet obtained by the space telescope Hubble. The planet called Fomalhaut b, is a planet with a mass close to Jupiter, orbiting the star Fomalhaut, 25 years - light from Earth in the constellation of Southern Fish. The star Fomalhaut (indicated by a white dot) is hidden here to show the dust disc surrounding it and the position of the planet. Located at a distance of about four times that separating Neptune from the Sun, Fomalhaut b makes a complete orbit around its star in 872 years. November 2008 - This image, taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys aboard the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, shows the newly discovered planet, Fomalhaut b, orbiting its parent star, Fomalhaut. The small white box at lower right pinpoints the planet's location. Fomalhaut b has carved a path along the inner edge of a vast, dusty debris ring encircling Fomalhaut that is 34.5 billion kilomete

Constellation of Capricornus - Constellation of Capricornus - Capricornus (the Sea Goat, Capricorn to astrologers) is one of the more surprising mythical creatures projected on the sky, a male goat with the tail of a fish. However, adjoining Aquarius and Piscis Austrinus, it is in a particularly watery part of the sky. The orientation of this strange creature is set by its brightest star, Deneb Algiedi (d Cap, the Goat's tail), while Algedi (or Giedi, a Cap) simply means goat or ibex. Although it is not particularly conspicuous the constellation is of ancient lineage, predating the ancient Greeks, perhaps because in ancient times the northern Winter Solstice occured in Capricornus. Because of precession, it is now in Aquarius though the idea is preserved in the Tropic of Capricorn which is the line around the northern hemisphere globe where the Sun is directly overhead at noon in mid - winter. Best seen in the early evening in September

The star Fomalhaut - Star Fomalhaut - The star Fomalhaut is located 25 years - light from Earth in the constellation Southern Fish. An extrasolar planet, called Fomalhaut b, with a mass close to Jupiter, is in orbit around it. This image shows Fomalhaut, the star around which the discovered planet Fomalhaut b orbits. Fomalhaut is much hotter than our Sun, 15 times as bright, and lies 25 light - years from Earth. It is blazing through hydrogen at such a furious rate that it will burn out in only one billion years, 10% the lifespan of our star. The field of view is 2.7 x 2.9 degrees

Planet around the star Fomalhaut - Planet orbiting star Fomalhaut - Artist's view of the extrasolar planet Fomalhaut b, a planet with a mass close to Jupiter, orbiting the star Fomalhaut, 25 years ago - light from Earth in the constellation of the Southern Fish. Located at a distance of about four times that separating Neptune from the Sun, Fomalhaut b makes a complete orbit around its star in 872 years. This illustration shows the discovered planet, Fomalhaut b, orbiting its sun, Fomalhaut. This structure is a Saturn - like ring that astronomers say may encircle the planet. Fomalhaut also is surrounded by a ring of material. The edge of this vast disk is shown in the background as the curving cloud - like feature that appears to intersect the 200 - million year - old star. Fomalhaut b lies three billion kilometers inside the disk's inner edge. The planet completes an orbit around Fomalhaut every 872 years

Planet around the star Fomalhaut - Planet orbiting star Fomalhaut - Artist's view of the extrasolar planet Fomalhaut b, a planet with a mass close to Jupiter, orbiting the star Fomalhaut, 25 years ago - light from Earth in the constellation of the Southern Fish. Located at a distance of about four times that separating Neptune from the Sun, Fomalhaut b makes a complete orbit around its star in 872 years.

The star Fomalhaut and its dust disc - Star Fomalhaut dust ring - The star Fomalhaut is located 25 years - light from Earth in the constellation of the Southern Fish. A dust disc surrounds it, seen here by the Hubble telescopes (left), Herschel (far infrared, centre) and Alma (right). This disc of interplanetary dust revolves around the young star at a distance of about 20 billion kilometers from it. The image taken at 850 microns wavelength by Alma seems to confirm that the planet discovered in 2008 in the Fomalhaut disc by Hubble does not exist. This image shows Fomalhaut and its dust ring. Images taken by the Hubble space telescope (HST, at left), Herschel telescope (middle) and Alma telescope (at right). Fomalhaut is much hotter than our Sun, 15 times as bright, and lies 25 light - years from Earth. An exoplanet was discovered in its dust ring but Alma observations seem to prove this planet doesn't exist

Planet around the star Fomalhaut - Planet orbiting star Fomalhaut - First visible light photo of an extrasolar planet obtained by the space telescope Hubble. The planet called Fomalhaut b, is a planet with a mass close to Jupiter, orbiting the star Fomalhaut, 25 years - light from Earth in the constellation of Southern Fish. The star Fomalhaut (indicated by a white dot) is hidden here to show the dust disc surrounding it and the position of the planet. Located at a distance of about four times that separating Neptune from the Sun, Fomalhaut b makes a complete orbit around its star in 872 years. November 2008 - This image, taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys aboard the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, shows the newly discovered planet, Fomalhaut b, orbiting its parent star, Fomalhaut. The small white box at lower right pinpoints the planet's location. Fomalhaut b has carved a path along the inner edge of a vast, dusty debris ring encircling Fomalhaut that is 34.5 billion kilomete

Southern constellations around the Clock - Southern constellations around Horologium - Southern constellations around the Clock. The two bright stars are Canopus (bottom) and Achernar. This wide angle image includes Horologium, Phoenix and Pictor, insignificant constellations roughly centred on an arc of delination 50* south, but at a scale too small to show the star identifications and stick figures. Horologium, the Pendulum Clock (originally l'Horloge and then Horologium Oscillitorium), was a constellation introduced by Abbe Nicolas Louis de Lacaille during his stay at the Cape of Good Hope between 1751 and 1752. It was named to honor Christian Huygens as the inventor of this type of clock, but the idea for such a method of regulating time came from Galileo. Lacaille's constellation drawing shows a remarkably detailed dial, weights and a pendulum that has little apparent connection with the scattering of faint stars in this part of the sky. There are no named stars and little else in
