Carina (constellation) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Carina (constellation)
Carina is a constellation in the southern sky. Its name is Latin for the keel of a ship, and it was formerly part of the larger constellation of Argo Navis (the ship ''Argo'') until that constellation was divided into three pieces, the other two being Puppis (the poop deck), and Vela (the sails of the ship). == History and mythology == Carina was once a part of Argo Navis, the great ship of Jason and the Argonauts who searched for the Golden Fleece. The constellation of Argo was introduced in ancient Greece. However, Nicolas Louis de Lacaille divided Argo into three component constellations in 1763, including Carina, the Keel. Despite the division, Lacaille kept Argo's Bayer designations. Therefore, Carina has the α, β and ε, Vela has γ and δ, Puppis has ζ, and so on.
