the constellation outlined
Argo Navis is a constellation in the southern sky.[1] In the past, it represented the ship of Jason and his argonauts who were in search of the Golden Fleece.[1] Today, it is no longer seen as one constellation but is divided instead into three smaller ones. These are Puppis (the stern), Carina (the keel) and Vela (the sails).[2] It is visible mainly in the southern hemisphere. If it were still recognized today it would be the biggest constellation in the sky.
