'Reticulum' (
IPA: , ), is one of the minor southern
constellations. It was introduced by
Nicolas Louis de Lacaille to commemorate the
reticle, which was a scientific instrument used to measure star positions.
Since it was introduced in the
18th century, there is no earlier mythology associated with it.
