A small and faint constellation of the southern sky, situated about 35 degrees below the head of Hydra, between the Antila and the Puppis. The brightest stars of the constellation Pyxis α (3.68mag), β (3.97mag) and γ Pyxidis (4.01mag) lie almost in a straight line. The constellation is poor for observers with a binocular or small telescope, but there are a few fainter open clusters, galaxies and planetary nebulae.
