			Covering 183 square degrees and hence 0.446% of the sky, Corvus ranks 70th of the 88 constellations in area. It is bordered by [[Virgo]] to the north and east, [[Hydra]] to the south, and [[Crater]] to the west. The three-letter abbreviation for the constellation, as adopted by the International Astronomical Union in 1922, is 'Crv'. The official constellation boundaries, as set by Eugène Delporte in 1930, are defined by a polygon of six segments.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corvus_%28constellation%29 Corvus]</ref>
