Grus (Constellation)Grus (Latin for Crane) is a southern constellation. It first appears in Johann Bayer's Uranometria of 1603, but was probably discovered earlier. History and mythology Until the 17th century, Grus was considered part of Piscis Austrinus. The Arabic names of many of its stars reflect this classification. Since it was created in the 17th century, there is no earlier mythology associated with it.
