"The Giraffe"
History: Clearly, since the giraffe was not known to the Ancient Greeks, this is a more modern constellation. It was first described by the Dutch theologian Petrus Plancius. It was first included on star maps sometime between the years of 1614 and 1624. Because of its modern origin, there is no mythology associated with the constellation.
Other Interesting Sights: Although it is a circumpolar constellation, Camelopardalis is not a well-known constellation, primarily because it occupies a remote area of the sky, albeit a large one, and is composed of very dim stars. The galaxy IC 342, which is part of the local group of galaxies (specifically the Maffei Group), is located within this constellation, although it is not visible through a standard telescope.
