	Observing Antlia and Pyxis: The Constellations of the Air Pump and the Compass
		Antlia the Air Pump and Pyxis the Compass are two constellations in the Southern Hemisphere that can be seen by Northern Hemisphere viewers who live farther south.
		Antlia is located east of Pyxis, north of Vela, south of Hydra, and west of Centaurus.
		Antlia's stars are so dim that the constellation was not even created until the 18th century.

	Mira Antliae system - Memory Alpha, the Star Trek Wiki
		According to a bridge display okudagram, the proper name of Dytallix B is "Mira Antliae V," indicating that it is the fifth planet from Mira Antliae.
		While there is a real constellation Antlia, this system's primary was noted in dialog to be Mira (also known as Omicron Ceti), which is quite distant from the Antlia stars named by astronomers on Earth.
		The relation between well-known Mira and the imaginary Mira Antliae was never clarified, but the real Mira does have another star in its system, of a type undiscovered by modern scientists, usually called VZ Ceti, so their coexistence in the same system or star group would be one of the possible explanations.

	The System Parameters
		Antlia was discovered as a galaxy by Whit, after an inspection of the UK Schmidt Telescope plates covering the entire southern sky.
		Antlia will most probably have no effect on the evolution of the rest of the galaxies in the system due to its small size, with the possible exception of NGC 3109.
		This, and the possible companionship between the Antlia and the NGC 3109 galaxy, will be discussed in Subsection 5.4.3.

		Named for the constellation in which it resides, Antlia is the newest member of the Local Group, a collection of 30 or so galaxies dominated by two massive ones -- the Milky Way and Andromeda.
		Antlia, in contrast, lives in isolation at the edge of the Local Group, unfettered by external gravitational influences.
		They identified Antlia, as well as another dwarf galaxy, Argo, which lies a little too far away to qualify as a member of the Local Group, by searching 894 survey photographs of the southern sky.

	Antlia Dwarf Galaxy
		A small dwarf spheroidal galaxy, of low surface brightness, that lies about 3.75 million light-years away in the constellation Antlia and is an outlying member of the Local Group.
		The Antlia Dwarf seems to be dominated by an old stellar population, similar to what has been found for most other dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the Local Group.
		However, unlike any of these, the Antlia Dwarf seems to contain a cloud of atomic hydrogen gas at its center with a mass of about 800,000 solar masses.
