Image description

Constellations of Sculptor and Fornax; part of the constellation of the Whale is visible above. Sculptor was originally L'Atelier du Sculpteur, named by Abbe Lacaille between 1751-2; made from stars originally between Cetus and Phoenix.. Fornax was created out of several faint stars in the southern part of Eridanus, also by de Lacaille, who named this le Fourneau (the Furnace) in the 1750s. The name was later Latinised (by Bode) to Fornax Chimiae, the Chemical Furnace in honor of the famous French chemist Antoine Lavoisier, who was guillotined in 1794 during the French Revolution.
