Capricornus or The Sea Goat is one of the 88 constellations modern astronomers have divided the sky into. It's part of the Zodiac constellation family. Capricornus is best seen in September (from latitudes +60° to -90°).
Capricornus is an odd looking creature, with the head and forelegs of a goat, and the tail of a fish.
