Vulpecula, the fox:
A modern constellation created in 1690 by the Polish astronomer
Johannes Hevelius. The original name of the constellation was Vulpecula
cum Anser, the fox with the goose, but it has since been shortened
just to the fox. It is a small constellation that contains no bright
stars. It can be found near the head of Cygnus the swan, just north
of Sagitta, the arrow.
