bring back BUFO - the frog constellation
The issue
we could have had it all. Bufo, the toast constellation. we must bring back bufo and recognise it for the greatness it is.
John Hill was an eighteenth-century British botanist and natural philosopher. In 1754, he published an astronomy dictionary entitled Urania, or A Compleat View of the Heavens. (This is a year before Samuel Johnson's celebrated A Dictionary of the English Language.) Over the course of 650 pages he discussed or defined numerous astronomical terms, often including pithy comments about the subject matter. He also invented 15 new constellations of his own, each modestly introduced as a "constellation offered to the astronomical world". Given that he was offering up celestial eels and earthworms and slugs, it's not entirely certain that he was serious. Bufo is one of John Hill’s creations and is located between Libra and Hydra. The star, Brachium, the brightest in this constellation, is said to represent the toad's eye.
