A relatively prominent but minor constellation in the southern sky below Virgo. Its brightest star, Spica, is pointed at by the two stars of the Raven's Wing. The constellation's four main stars (γ, δ, β, ε Corvo) range in magnitude from 2.5 to 3 and form a striking trapezoid. This pattern is particularly striking because it lies in a relatively star-poor region - 10 degrees southwest of Spica. The Raven is not a very interesting constellation, but it does contain several attractive binaries and a couple of fairly bright galaxies. The most prominent of these is NGC 4038-39, a pair of interacting galaxies called the Antennae.
