'''Equuleus''' is a faint [[constellation]] located just north of the [[celestial equator]]. Its name is [[Latin]] for "little horse", a [[foal]]. It was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century astronomer [[Ptolemy]], and remains one of the 88 modern constellations. It is the second smallest of the modern constellations (after [[Crux]]), spanning only 72 square degrees. It is also very faint, having no stars brighter than the [[apparent magnitude|fourth magnitude]].
