Pyxis constellation lies in the southern sky. It represents a mariner’s compass. Pyxis was one of the constellations created by the French astronomer Nicolas Louis de Lacaille in the 18th century. Lacaille named the constellation Pyxis Nautica, but the name was later simplified to Pyxis.

Pyxis lies near the former constellation Argo Navis, which represented the Argonauts’ ship in Greek mythology, but was eventually broken into several smaller constellations. Pyxis is sometimes taken to represent the ship’s compass, but unlike Argo Navis, it was not one of the Greek constellations.
