From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bayer did not introduce Crux as a constellation. What he did was depict Crux as an asterism in Centaurus. I'll be back with more information, but Johann Bayer was very conservative and presented an essentially unchanged celestial globe. The first great constellation inventor in the modern times of astronomy was Petrus Plancius. Rursus 22:08, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
