Caelum is a small, insignificant constellation
in the the southern sky. Its name means Chisel
in Latin. It is a rare word and is unconnected to
the far more common Latin usage of the word
caelum, to mean: Heaven.
The constellation Caelum used to be called
Caelum Scalptorium, meaning:
The Engraver’s Chisel.
Due to its small size and location away from
the plane of the Milky Way, Caelum is a rather
barren constellation, with few objects of interest.

In google translate, a misspelling of
Caelum Scalptorium as Caelum Scalptorum
returns the pleasing translation: Heaven Cutter.
