![<]($IMG_DIR/cons/Men.png)
A small and faint constellation in close proximity to the south pole of the sky, therefore not visible at our latitudes. The Mensa is the faintest constellation in the sky, with the brightest stars not exceeding fifth magnitude. Four of them form the main pattern of the constellation. Of the objects of note, only the Great Magellanic Cloud is worth mentioning, which partially extends here from the neighbouring Dorado to the north.
