Notable features

Lupus has no extremely bright stars but around thirty stars of second and third magnitude and 70 of greater than sixth, including a number of binary or multiple stars. The stars which make up the constellation figure have no names, the brightest is Alpha Lupi, a blue giant.

Notable deep sky objects

Towards the north of the constellation are globular clusters NGC 5824 and NGC 5986 and close by the dark nebula B 228. Two open clusters are to the south of the constellation, NGC 5822 and NGC 5749. On the western border are two spiral galaxies and the Wolf-Rayet planetary nebula IC 4406, containing some of the hottest stars in existence. Another planetary nebula, NGC 5882, is towards the centre of the constellation.

History and/or Mythology

The constellation has no clear mythology, but is sometimes associated with the tale of King Lycaon. Although known from ancient times no particular animal was associated with it until the Latin translation of Ptolemy's work. It was not separated from Centaurus until Hipparchus of Bithynia named it Therion in the 200s BCE.

Several shots of a scientist in a laboratory setting, wearing a white coat and performing a test. Only his hands are visible in some of the photos. The scientist is sorting B-cells taken from the bone marrow of a patient with Lupus disease. The Lupus antibody-producing cell is isolated in a well, to be fused with a cancerous mouse myeloma B-cell, producing a hybridoma. Hybridomas produce identical monoclonal antibodies in large quantities and indefinitely. Credit: Linda Bartlett (photographer).
