Turdus Solitarius
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Turdus Solitarius (Latin for solitary thrush) was a constellation created by Pierre Charles Lemonnier in 1776 from stars of Hydra's tail. It was named after the Rodrigues solitaire.[1] It was replaced by another constellation, Noctua (the Owl). Neither constellation is in current use.
