Triangulum Minus

Triangulum Minus

Triangulum Minus (Latin for the "Smaller Triangle") was a constellation created by Johannes Hevelius. It is often misspelt into Triangulum Min"or". It was formed from the southern parts of his "Triangula" (plural form of "Triangulum"), but is no longer in use. The triangle was defined by the fifth magnitude stars 6 Trianguli, 10 Trianguli, and 12 Trianguli.
