Well, I got this off of unexplainable.net. 1.) The constellation musca is one of the twelve constellations created by Peiter Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Hourman between the years of 1595 and 1597. 2.) The constellation first made an appearance in "Uranometria" - a publication headed by Johann Bayer in 1603. In the beginning, the constellation was dubbed 'Apis - the bee' by Bayer, but it was renamed Musca Australis (the southern fly) by Nicolas Louis de La Caille between the years of 1750-1754. 3.)Today, you will find the constellation positioned immediately south of Cruz (the southern cross), meaning that people living in the United States are unable to catch sight of it. This is only three things, but I hope it will help. I am doing a project on constellations and I found this info while researching. I copied and pasted it from unexplainable.net, so I just want you to know that I was not making up this answer. I'm not smart enough to come up something that intelligent, you know. I copy and pasted this from unexplainable.net: Musca - the fly
As one of the minor southern constellations in the sky, Musca is also one of the twelve constellations created by Peiter Dirkszoon Keyser (Dutch navigator who mapped the southern sky) and Frederick de Hourman (Dutch explorer who sailed along the Western coast of Australia) between the years of 1595 and 1597.
The constellation first made an appearance in "Uranometria" - a publication headed by Johann Bayer in 1603. In the beginning, the constellation was dubbed 'Apis - the bee' by Bayer, but it was renamed Musca Australis (the southern fly) by Nicolas Louis de La Caille between the years of 1750-1754. This was an attempt to separate this group of stars from a southern 'fly' called " Musca Borealis". However, this constellation is no longer recognizer by the astronomical community.
The following years would see the name shortened to Musca. Today, you will find the constellation positioned immediately south of Cruz (the southern cross), meaning that people living in the United States are unable to catch sight of it.
