or '''Piscis Australis''' (both of which are
Latin for ''
South ern
Fish '') was one of the 48
Constellation s listed by
Ptolemy , and is also one of the 88 modern constellations. Its only bright
Star is
Fomalhaut .
Prior to the twentieth century, the constellation was also known as
Piscis Notius , a name used to distinguish it from
Pisces and the later introduced Piscis
Volans (the
Flying Fish ).
It is thought that originally, Piscis Austrinus was the only constellation thought of as a fish,
Pisces becoming considered a fish only later.
