Lacerta is one of the 88 modern constellations defined by the International Astronomical Union. Its name is Latin for lizard. A small, faint constellation, it was created in 1687 by the astronomer Johannes Hevelius. Its brightest stars form a "W" shape similar to that ofCassiopeia, and it is thus sometimes referred to as 'Little Cassiopeia'. It is located betweenCygnus, Cassiopeia and Andromeda on the northern celestial sphere. The northern part lies on the Milky Way.
