Camelopardalis or The Giraffe is one of the 88 constellations modern astronomers have divided the sky into. It's part of the Ursa Major constellation family. Camelopardalis is best seen in February (from latitudes +90° to -10°).
Camelopardalis represents the giraffe, which was once known as a camel-leopard. Camelopardalis lies in the far northern sky between the head of the Great Bear and Cassiopeia, an area that was left blank by the Greeks because it contains no stars brighter than fourth magnitude. It does have three stars with known planets and the meteor shower called The October Camelopardalis.
