Pyxis (compass) - Rashinbanza (English spelling)

Japanese: らしんばん座(羅針盤座) - らしんばんざ(英語表記)Pyxis
Pyxis (compass) - Rashinbanza (English spelling)
Its abbreviation is Pyx. It is a constellation that rises near the horizon in spring. In Greek times it was called Argo, and was part of a huge constellation that resembled the Argo, an expedition ship from Greek legend. French astronomer NL Lacaille divided it into four parts (1752), and named the northeastern part Pyxis (compass box). However, later J. Lalande called it Malus, and BA Gould, who observed the southern stars in Argentina, again proposed the name Pyxis, which was officially adopted by the International Astronomical Union in 1922.
