Sculptor (constellation)
Sculptor is a minor southern constellation which was introduced by Nicolas Louis de Lacaille. He originally named it after a sculptor's studio, but the name was later shortened.
Sculptor contains the south galactic pole. It also contains the Sculptor System (the Sculptor Dwarf), which is a member of the Local Group.
