description Patella Overview
Patella was an obsolete constellation proposed by English writer and naturalist John Hill in 1754. Its name means "kneecap" in Latin, but Hill used it to represent a limpet shell in a proposed expansion of the northern sky. The constellation was not adopted by later standard star maps or by the International Astronomical Union, so Patella has no official modern boundaries or recognized status.
