32.03 Constellation myths and legends- Apus the Bird of Paradise
In this series of podcasts I have tried to show how different civilisations have depicted different pictures in the sky of the constellations. However I did not realise how difficult some of the names were going to be to pronounce so I apologise straight away if things don't sound quite right. In today's episode I am looking at Apus the Bird of Paradise.
Another small faint constellation and a constellation that is not visible for Britain. Apus the bird of paradise was introduced to the sky in the 1590s by the Dutch astronomer and cartographer Petrus Plancius from the observations of Dutch navigators Pieter Keyser and Frederick Houtman, when they voyaged to the southern hemisphere. and first catalogued by Plancius in the late 16th century.
