Apus

Apus is a constellation in the southern sky, named after the Latin word for "bird of paradise." It is one of the smaller, less well-known constellations and was established in the 17th century. Apus contains several interesting stars and celestial objects, but it is most notable for its unique shape that resembles a bird in flight. It serves as a reminder of the rich diversity of constellations that can be seen from different parts of the world, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere, where it's more easily visible.
