Triangulum Minor, the lesser triangle:
An obsolete constellation that was created by the Polish astronomer
Johannes Hevelius. It was formed from three dim stars found immediately
below the constellation of Triagulum, towards Aries, the ram. While
Triangulum is an officially recognized constellation, Triangulum
Minor is now disregarded by astronomers. Occasionally the pair of
triangles can be found on star maps label as Triangula.
