Pyxis is a constellation in the southern sky. The constellation is a modern construction, but was a part of Argo, Jason's ship in greek mythology, but then known as the mast. Only half of the constellation can be seen from Sweden, and the best time to see as much as possible is late evenings of February and Mars. The are no bright objects in this constellation.
