Name Meaning
Caelum constellation is located in the southern hemisphere. Its name is the Latin word for “the chisel.” The small, faint constellation was originally named Caela Sculptoris, or the sculptor’s chisel. It is one of the 14 constellations created by the French astronomer Nicolas Louis de Lacaille in the 18th century.
There are no myths associated with Caelum. It is one of the constellations introduced by the French astronomer Lacaille in the 18th century. Lacaille named his constellations after various instruments and tools, not stories and myths.

Caelum is depicted as a sculptor’s chisel. It first appeared in Lacaille’s map of the southern stars published in 1756, as “les Burins,” a pair of crossed burins connected by a ribbon. (Burins are sharp engraving tools.) In Johann Bode’s star atlas Uranographia, the constellation still had the longer name, Caela Scalptoris.
