Apus is a small constellation in the southern sky that represents a bird-of-paradise, named "without feet" in Greek because these birds were once mistakenly thought to have no feet. It was first depicted on a celestial globe in 1598 and later charted in detail by astronomers in the early 1600s and 1700s, helping establish its place in our modern understanding of the night sky.
