Jordanus (constellation)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jordanus (the Jordan River) was a constellation invented by Petrus Plancius in the early 17th century. One end was in Canes Venatici and then it flowed through Leo Minor and Lynx and ended near Camelopardalis. This constellation was not adopted in the atlases of Johann Bode and fell into disuse.
