retikulumról

Reticulum is a small, triangular region of the sky in the southern celestial hemisphere. It is one of the 88 modern constellations, and its name is Latin for "little net." The constellation is located between the constellations of Dorado and Hydra, and it is visible primarily from the Southern Hemisphere. Reticulum is not particularly prominent, containing only a few stars that are visible to the naked eye. The brightest star in Reticulum is Alpha Reticuli, which has an apparent magnitude of 3.35. The constellation is home to several interesting astronomical objects, including the Reticulum II dwarf galaxy, one of the faintest and closest known galaxies to the Milky Way. Reticulum also contains several star clusters and nebulae, although these are not as well-studied as those in more prominent constellations. The constellation was first introduced in the 17th century by the Dutch astronomer Petrus Plancius, who named it after the net used by the Greek god Poseidon to catch the water nymph Amphitrite.
