In November we talk about the star map of the northern hemisphere. Today – Camelopardalis.
Camelopardalis is not particularly bright. The constellation was proposed by Petrus Plancius in 1598, and its name became a source of confusion. Plancius called it the “Giraffe,” but his own notes suggest he actually had the biblical camel in mind. The map’s publisher changed the name to “Camel,” yet kept the image of a giraffe—and that is how it has remained ever since. A rather silly outcome for a camel-giraffe hybrid.
