Indus (constellation)

Constellation in the southern celestial hemisphere

Indus is a constellation in the southern sky first professionally surveyed by Europeans in the 1590s and mapped on a globe by Petrus Plancius by early 1598. It was included on a plate illustrating southern constellations in Bayer's sky atlas Uranometria in 1603. It lies well south of the Tropic of Capricorn, but its triangular shape can be seen for most of the year from the Equator.
