New discovery of Russian and Ukrainian astronomers promises to be a sensation.
A group of scientists was watching globular cluster М80 and planetary nebula IC419, when they found six stars, previously considered to be no more than parts of the nebula. Astronomers claim this star family can become a new constellation.
New constellation has the area of 22 square degrees and its brightest star has radial velocity of 26 km per second and absolute stellar magnitude of -5.4.
