description Solarium Overview
Solarium was an obsolete constellation proposed by the British celestial cartographer Alexander Jamieson in his 1822 atlas, A Celestial Atlas.

It was not adopted by the International Astronomical Union's modern list of 88 constellations, so the name has no official astronomical status today.
