Apus, or the Bird of Paradise, is formed from four main stars to make its pattern in the Southern night sky. The entire constellation only contains 20 stars visible with the unaided eye under the best conditions. It is an invention of the Dutch celestial mapmaker Petrus Plancius in the late 16th century.
Three of the brightest stars are called alpha apodis, beta apodis, and gamma apodis.
Apus was born on December 11, 1903, in Bahamas.
Apus's birth name is Montrose B. Morse.
Apus died in June 1971, in Bronx, New York, USA.
