vela

a constellation in the southern hemisphere between Carina and Pyxis

"because of its configuration Vela is sometimes called `the Sails'"

Vela (Latin for ''sails'') is a southern constellation, one of the four parts into which Argo Navis was split (the others being; Carina (constellation), Puppis and Pyxis.It contains the starstars Delta Velorum and Kappa Velorum which together with Iota Carinae and Epsilon Carinae form the asterism (astronomy)asterism known as the "false cross", which is sometimes mistaken for the CruxSouthern Cross.Of the deep sky objects of interest in Vela is a planetary nebula known as the NGC_3132Eight-Burst nebula. Also of interest within the constellation is the Vela Supernova Remnant. This is the nebula of a supernova explosion which is believed to have been visible from the Earth around 10000 years ago. The remnant contains a pulsar which was the first pulsar to be identified optically apart from that in the Crab Nebula.

Mythology - Since Vela was originally part of the Argo Navis, it has no pre 17th century mythology associated with it independantly.
