I know Marty put this as an example, but the word fascinated me so I had to look it up.
Turns out, it's a constellation that is (theoretically) shaped like a giraffe. The (butchered) Greek words "camelo" and "pardalis", meaning camel and leopard respectively, combine to mean giraffe - essentially a spotted camel.
The images of the constellation are the most beautiful - or so I think.

Maybe I'm just captivated by the lines.
