The Keel
Map of Carina
A large constellation of the southern sky, originally part of the even larger Argo Navis. Though it lies on the band of the Milky Way, most of the stars in Carina are relatively faint, with the brilliant exception of Canopus, the second brightest star in the entire sky after Sirius.
