	The South Pole is in the constellation Octans. Right at the Poles, the Sun only rises once and sets once each year; the Sun shines for half the year and it is dark for the other half of the year. This makes a year like one long day; six months of light and six months of darkness. The Sun reaches the point farthest south of the celestial equator about December 22nd, when the Sun is highest in the sky at the south pole.		The South Pole is in the constellation Octans.

	Octans is a faint constellation located in the deep southern sky. Its name is Latin for the eighth part of a circle, but it is named after the octant, a navigational instrument. The constellation was devised by French astronomer Nicolas Louis de Lacaille in 1752, and it remains one of the 88 modern constellations. Octans is bordered by seven different constellations, most of which are far more prominent than itself: [[Apus]] (the bird-of-paradise), [[Mensa]] (the table), [[Chamaeleon]] (the chamaeleon), [[Pavo]] (the peacock), [[Indus]] (the Indian), [[Tucana]] (the toucan), and [[Hydrus]] (the male water snake).
