The constellation Cancer has been known since ancient times and is one of the 12 constellations of the zodiac. It is commonly associated with the myth of the crab that was sent by the goddess Hera to distract Hercules during his battle with the Hydra. The exact year of the constellation's discovery is not applicable as it has been part of human knowledge for millennia.
