It was introduced in 1589 by Petrus Plancius on a 32½-cm diameter celestial globe published in Amsterdam by Jacob Floris van Langren, where it was called Triangulus Antarcticus and was misplaced south of Argo Navis.

Although the treaty's Santo Thome island has not been identified, its " Islas de las Velas " ( Islands of the Sails ) appear in a 1585 Spanish history of China, on the 1594 world map of Petrus Plancius, on an anonymous map of the Moluccas in the 1598 London edition of Linschoten, and on the 1607 world map of Petro Kærio, identified as a north-south chain of islands in the northwest Pacific, which were also called the " Islas de los Ladrones " ( Islands of the Thieves ) during that period.

During a voyage across the Barents Sea in search of the North East Passage in 1553, English explorer Hugh Willoughby thought he saw islands to the north, and islands called Willoughby's Land were shown on maps published by Plancius and Mercator in the 1590s and they continued to appear on maps by Jan Janssonius and Willem Blaeu into the 1640s.

Vespa ( Latin for wasp ) was the name used by Jakob Bartsch in 1624 for a constellation, now obsolete, that was originally called Apes ( plural of Apis, Latin for bee ) by Petrus Plancius when he created it in 1612.

The renaming by Bartsch may have been intended to avoid confusion with another constellation, created by Plancius in 1598, that was called Apis by Bayer in 1603.

Plancius called this earlier constellation Muia ( Greek for fly ) in 1612, and it had been called Musca ( Latin for fly ) by Blaeu in 1602, although Bayer was evidently unaware of this.

The constellation was introduced in 1612 ( or 1613 ) by Petrus Plancius.

The stars were first defined as a separate constellation by Petrus Plancius, who created twelve new constellations based on the observations of Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman.

In 1597 ( or 1598 ), Petrus Plancius carved out a separate constellation and named it after the crane.

The constellation was one of twelve created by Petrus Plancius from the observations of Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman.

The constellation Phoenix, was introduced in the late 16th century by sailors organized by Petrus Plancius, probably one of Keyser or de Houtman and displayed on a globe from 1597 created by Hondius.

Columba was created by Dutch astronomer Petrus Plancius in 1592 in order to differentiate the ' unformed stars ' of the large constellation Canis Major.

Plancius originally named the constellation Columba Noachi (" Noah's Dove "), referring to the dove that gave Noah the information that the Great Flood was receding.

The constellation was one of twelve created by Petrus Plancius from the observations of Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman and it first appeared on a 35-cm diameter celestial globe published in 1597 ( or 1598 ) in Amsterdam by Plancius with Jodocus Hondius.

These constellations, together with the constellation Columba introduced by Plancius on his large wall map of the world of 1592, were then incorporated in 1603 by Johann Bayer in his sky atlas, the Uranometria.

Royer is often named as the creator of the constellation Columba ( the Dove ) by splitting off part of the constellation Canis Major, and the constellation Crux ( the Southern Cross ) with stars from Centaurus but these were in fact already formed ( and depicted ) in 1589 and in 1592 by Petrus Plancius.

However, the original name of this constellation was Apis ( the Bee, also the original name of Musca Australis ) in Plancius ' celestial globe of 1612, while Bartsch named it Vespa ( the Wasp ) in 1624.

River Tigris or Tigris ( named after the Tigris river ) was a constellation, introduced in 1612 ( or 1613 ) by Petrus Plancius.

Gallus ( the cockerel ) was a constellation introduced in 1612 ( or 1613 ) by Petrus Plancius.

Jordanus ( the Jordan River ) was a constellation introduced in 1612 ( or 1613 ) by Petrus Plancius.

Apus was one of twelve constellations created by Petrus Plancius from the observations of Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman and it first appeared on a 35 cm diameter celestial globe published in 1597 ( or 1598 ) in Amsterdam by Plancius with Jodocus Hondius.

It first appeared on a 35-cm diameter celestial globe published in 1597 ( or 1598 ) in Amsterdam by Plancius and Jodocus Hondius.

Dorado was one of twelve constellations named by Petrus Plancius from the observations of Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman, and it first appeared on a 35-cm diameter celestial globe published in 1597 ( or 1598 ) in Amsterdam by Plancius with Jodocus Hondius.

Grus first appeared on a 35-cm diameter celestial globe published in 1597 ( or 1598 ) in Amsterdam by Plancius with Jodocus Hondius.

Hydrus was one of twelve constellations created by Petrus Plancius from the observations of Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman and it first appeared on a 35-cm diameter celestial globe published in 1597 ( or 1598 ) in Amsterdam by Plancius with Jodocus Hondius.

It first appeared on a 35-cm diameter celestial globe published in 1597 ( or 1598 ) in Amsterdam by Plancius with Jodocus Hondius.

Its first certain appearance was on a globe created by the Dutch cartographer Petrus Plancius in 1612 or 1613 and it was later charted by Jakob Bartsch as Unicornus in his star chart of 1624.

Volans was one of twelve constellations created by Petrus Plancius from the observations of Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman and it first appeared on a 35-cm diameter celestial globe published in 1597 ( or 1598 ) in Amsterdam by Plancius with Jodocus Hondius.

Plancius first depicted Columba on the small celestial planispheres of his large wall map of 1592.

It is one of twelve constellations created by Petrus Plancius from the observations of Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman and it first appeared on a 35-cm diameter celestial globe published in 1597 ( or 1598 ) in Amsterdam by Plancius with Jodocus Hondius.

The separation of Crux from Centaurus is generally attributed to the French astronomer Augustin Royer in 1679, but other historians attribute the invention of Crux to Petrus Plancius in 1613.

Its definition is attributed to the 17th-century Dutch cartographer Petrus Plancius.

Johann Bayer copied the southern constellations from a Plancius / Hondius globe in his 1603 Uranometria star atlas, crediting charting to a " Petrus Theodori ", but not acknowledging their earlier publication, and is therefore often mistakenly credited for introducing them.

It is also shown on his smaller world map of 1594 and on world maps copied from Plancius.

Dutch mapmakers P. Plancius and C. Claesz show an island ' Rookol ' northwest of Ireland in the their Map of New France and the Northern Atlantic Ocean ( Amsterdam, c. 1594 ).

Petrus Plancius ( 1552 – May 15, 1622 ) was a Dutch astronomer, cartographer and clergyman.

Martin Conway argued in 1901 that Carolus ' chart indicated he discovered Edgeøya, but, as Wielder points out, Conway was ignorant of a map ( engraved in 1612 ) by the Dutch cartographer Petrus Plancius, which illustrated a coastline to the east of Spitsbergen.

Schilder, an expert on Dutch cartography, said Carolus merely copied both coastlines from earlier charts, while he believed that Plancius had copied some names from a chart by Mouris Willemsz, unknown to Wielder, that was published in 1608 or earlier by Cornelis Claeszoon ( British Library, London ).

Plancius, a key promoter to the Dutch East Indies expeditions, had instructed Keyser to map the skies in the southern hemisphere, which were largely uncharted at the time.

With help from Plancius Peter, a Flemish minister who was engaged in producing maps, globes and nautical instruments, they sought for a northeastern or northwestern access to Asia to circumvent the VOC monopoly.

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.
