Caelum is a faint constellation in the southern sky, introduced in the 1750s by Nicolas Louis de Lacaille and counted among the 88 modern constellations. Its name means "chisel" in Latin, and it was formerly known as Caelum Sculptorium ("Engraver's Chisel"); it is a rare word, unrelated to the far more common Latin caelum, meaning "sky", "heaven", or "atmosphere". It is the eighth-smallest constellation, and subtends a solid angle of around 0.038 steradians, just less than that of Corona Australis.
Caelum is a faint constellation in the southern sky named after a chisel, created by astronomer Nicolas Louis de Lacaille in the 1750s and now recognized as one of the 88 modern constellations. Though it is one of the smallest constellations in the sky, it remains part of the standard celestial map used by astronomers and stargazers today.
