Sextans: A faint, minor equatorial constellation introduced by Polish astronomer Johannes Hevelius in 1687. Its name is Latin for the astronomical sextant, an instrument used by Hevelius.
Stars: Sextans has only one star above the fifth magnitude, namely Sextantis at 4.49 m. It also contains some binary and variable stars, such as Sextantis, Sextantis, 35 Sextantis, and 40 Sextantis.
Deep-sky objects: Sextans covers a dim, sparse region of the sky, but it contains some notable objects, such as NGC 3115 (an edge-on lenticular galaxy), Sextans B (a dwarf irregular galaxy in the Local Group), CL J1001+0220 (the most distant-known galaxy cluster), and Cosmos Redshift 7 (the brightest galaxy in the early universe).
COSMOS project: Sextans is the location of the field studied by the COSMOS project, undertaken by the Hubble Space Telescope, which aims to understand the formation and evolution of galaxies.
