Category:88 IAU-Constellations
From All Skies Encyclopaedia
Over the course of the decade of the 1920s, the IAU defined the borders of constellations officially. This definition is used as international standard in research papers.
However, there is no single date of the definition but there are actually some very important dates:
- 1922 The international standardization of 89 Latin constellation names in Nominativ, Genitiv and their three-letter-abbreviation
- 1925 Delporte's presentation of his definition of border lines
- 1928 the acceptance of Delporte's suggestion
- 1930 publication of Delporte's atlas
