description Crater Overview
Crater is a small, faint constellation in the southern sky whose name is Latin for cup. It is one of the 48 constellations recorded by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy in the second century and remains one of the 88 modern constellations recognized by the International Astronomical Union. Crater lies near Hydra and Corvus and is associated in classical star lore with a cup carried by the raven. Its stars are generally modest in brightness, so it is more useful as a mapped sky region than as a prominent naked-eye pattern.
