Camelopardalis is a large but faint constellation in the Northern Sky that depicts a giraffe and was introduced around 1612-1613 by astronomer Petrus Plancius. While older astronomy texts sometimes used alternative spellings of its name, the version recognized by the International Astronomical Union is now the standard for naming its stars.
