| Vulpecula (The Fox) |
|
A faint constellation, next to Cygnus, introduced by J. Hevelius in 1690 with the longer name Vulpecula et Anser - the fox and goose - which was subsequently shortened to its present form. It contains no stars brighter than fourth magnitude, but does include the noted planetary nebula known as the Dumbbell Nebula. See also: Table 4. |
