Felis (constellation)
text:
Felis was a constellation created by French astronomer Jérôme Lalande in 1799. He chose the name partly because, as a cat lover, he felt sorry that there was not yet a cat among the constellations. It was between the constellations of Antlia and Hydra. This constellation was first depicted in the Uranographia sive Astrorum Descriptio (1801) of Johann Elert Bode. It is now obsolete. Its brightest star, HD 85951, was named Felis by the International Astronomical Union on 1 June 2018 and it is now
