Musca Borealis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Musca Borealis (Latin for northern fly) was a constellation located between the constellations of Aries and Perseus. The original name of this constellation was Vespa (see Vespa). It is no longer in use. The Southern Fly, Musca Australis is now simply known as Musca.
The same stars were also used for a constellation named Lilium (lily).
