Corvus, Constellation, Labeled

Corvus, the Crow, is a southern constellation that transits the meridian an hour and a half after midnight on the first day of spring. It lies between Crater to the west, Hydra to the south and Virgo to the east and north. In Greek mythology, Corvus, the Crow or Raven, represents Apollo's sacred bird. The four bright stars that make up the main figure of the constellation form an asterism known as the Sail. The Sail is also known as Spica's Spanker because two of the stars, Gamma Corvi and Delta Corvi, point to the bright star Spica in Virgo. A spanker is a type of sail.
