Definition

  1. 1
    Nombre de una constelación austral, situada entre las constelaciones de la Liebre, la Paloma, el Pintor, el Dorado, el Reloj y Erídano. Su nombre latino, Caelum, presta a confusión, pues con esta constelación no se ha querido representar al cielo, sino al buril o cincel. Sus estrellas son débiles y ver la figura, sin binoculares, es una buena prueba de agudeza visual.
