description Grus Overview
Grus is a southern constellation whose name is Latin for 'crane.' Petrus Plancius introduced it on a celestial globe in 1598, and Johann Bayer included it in the 1603 star atlas Uranometria, helping establish it among the southern constellations recognized in early modern European star maps. The star Alnair, also designated Alpha Gruis, is a blue-white star that serves as a principal marker for the constellation. Grus is mainly observed from southern latitudes.
