Vela in Latin means "sails" as in the sails of a ship. The constellation Vela was once included in the constellation Argo Navis which is Latin for "the ship Argo" or the ship used by Jason and the Argonauts in Greek mythology. The constellation Argo Navis (so named by Ptolemy in the 2nd century) was considered to be too large by modern astronomers and so has been divided into three parts, Vela (the sails), Carina (the hull or keel) and Puppis (the upper deck).
Carina is near Vela.
No, March is not the best season to see the constellation Vela. Vela is best observed during the Southern Hemisphere summer months from December to February. This is when Vela is high in the sky and most visible.
Vela is a constellation in the southern sky and does not refer to a specific part of a ship. It is located near the constellation of Carina, which represents the keel of a ship.
Vela is Latin for "sail", specifically the sail of a wind-powered ship. Vela is named this because it was once part of a larger constellation, Argo Navis, that resembled a ship. Argo Navis was later divided into three constellations, and Vela is one of them.
The best season to see the Vela constellation in the night sky is during the southern hemisphere's summer months, typically from November to January. This is when the constellation is prominent and high in the sky for observers in the southern hemisphere.
Carina is near Vela.

ANTLIA
The Vela Supernova is the remnant of a supernova explosion that occurred in the Vela constellation about 11,000 to 12,300 years ago. It is located about 800 light-years away from Earth and is one of the closest known supernova remnants to us.
Probably the Vela supernova in the southern constellation Vela. Its source supernova exploded approximately 11,000-12,300 years ago (and was about 800 light years away).
The Pencil Nebula (or NGC2736) is part of the Vela Supernova Remnant, located near the Vela Pulsar in the constellation Vela.It is called "pencil" because of it's linear appearance.See related link for a picture.
The constellation Vela is predominantly visible from the southern hemisphere. It is best seen from latitudes between +30° and -90°. In the northern hemisphere, it can only be observed low on the southern horizon.
