Auriga (constellation) wildly from those of the European Renaissance; one Turkish atlas depicted the stars of Auriga as a mule, called "Mulus clitellatus" by Johann Bayer. One unusual representation of Auriga, from 17th-century France, showed Auriga as Adam kneeling on the Milky Way, with a goat wrapped around his shoulders. Occasionally, Auriga is seen not as the Charioteer but as Bellerophon, the mortal rider of Pegasus who dared to approach Mount Olympus. In this version of the tale, Jupiter pitied Bellerophon for his foolishness and placed him in the stars. Some of the stars of Auriga were incorporated into a now-defunct constellation
Columba (constellation) from Earth. Columba is the constellation at the solar antapex - the Earth (and Sun) is moving away from its direction as the solar system moves through space. The constellation contains the runaway star μ Columbae, which was probably expelled from the ι Orionis system. Exoplanet NGTS-1b and its star NGTS-1 are in Columba. There is one globular cluster in Columba, 7th-magnitude NGC 1851. It is 39,000 light-years from Earth and is resolvable in medium-sized amateur telescopes.<br> NGC 1792 is a spiral galaxy of magnitude 10.2. NGC 1808 is a Seyfert galaxy of magnitude 10.8.
