- E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is perhaps Steven Spielberg’s signature fantasy film. It was the biggest blockbuster of 1982 and, in fact, The Eighties as a whole. John Williams’ score, flying bicycles, and an Ugly Cute alien hero are just the tip of the iceberg here.

The smallest but most prominent of the three parts into which the ancient Greek constellation of Argo Navis, the ship of the Argonauts, was divided by the French astronomer Nicolas Louis de Lacaille in his first catalogue of the southern stars, published in 1756. In that catalogue he gave it the French name Corps du Navire. His final catalogue, Coelum australe stelliferum, appeared in 1763 containing the same three subdivisions but with Latin instead of French names. Although usually described as the keel, Carina represents the main body or hull of the ship. The other two parts are Puppis, the poop or stern, and Vela, the sails.
