Science - Astronomy & Space / star constellation | | German term or phrase: polynesisches Sternbild der Y-Gabel | 'Der Stern Algol ist als "guiding star" dargestellt, verbunden mit dem polynesischen Sternbild der Y-Gabel.'
This is the description of a painting, depicting symbols for stars visible in the southern hemisphere. I googled 'Y-Gabel', 'Y-fork', 'polynesian constellations' etc, but could find absolutely no mention of this constellation. But I need a decent english translation for it. Does anybody know which constellation this is, and how I could translate the name? |
