Page "Petrus Plancius" Paragraph 9

In 1612 ( or 1613 ) Plancius introduced the following eight constellations on a 26. 5-cm celestial globe published in Amsterdam by Pieter van der Keere: Apes the Bee, Camelopardalis the Giraffe ( often interpreted as a Camel ), Cancer Minor the Small Crab, Euphrates Fluvius et Tigris Fluvius the Rivers Euphrates and Tigris, Gallus the Cock, Jordanis Fluvius the River Jordan, Monoceros the Unicorn and Sagitta Australis the Southern Arrow.

Of the latter constellations, only Camelopardalis and Monoceros are still found on modern star charts, and recognized by the IAU.
