Constellation Delphinus (The Dolphin)

Delphinus or The Dolphin is one of the 88 constellations modern astronomers have divided the sky into. It's part of the Heavenly Waters constellation family. Delphinus is best seen in September (from latitudes +90° to -70°)

Delphinus was granted a place in the sky because he was a favorite of the Greek sea god Poseidon. It was at one time referred to as Job’s coffin. The constellation contains six main stars that make up its shape. Two stars in Delphinus have the peculiar names Sualocin and Rotanev. Read backward, these names spell out Nicolaus Venator, the only astronomer to name a star after himself and get away with it.
