Vulpecula/Sagitta the mythlogy Vulpecula is a newcomer to the celestial menagerie, only appearing for the first time in a catalogue drawn up by Hevelius in 1690 (he originally named it the fox and goose) and has no bright stars to distinguish it. Sagitta by contrast is enmeshed in Greek mythology. Who fired this arrow is uncertain, but it may be Heracles rescuing Prometheus from the daily torment of the eagle Aquila.
