description Mensa Overview
Mensa is a faint constellation near the south celestial pole, introduced by Nicolas-Louis de Lacaille in 1756 and named after Table Mountain in South Africa, near whose observatory he charted the southern sky. It is the only constellation named after a geographical feature on Earth, and it contains part of the Large Magellanic Cloud, most of which lies in the neighboring constellation Dorado. Its own stars are dim, making it one of the least conspicuous constellations.
