Tucana is one of the twelve constellations established by the astronomer [[Petrus Plancius]] from the observations of the southern sky by the Dutch explorers [[Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser]] and [[Frederick de Houtman]], who had sailed on the first Dutch trading expedition, known as the ''[[First Dutch Expedition to Indonesia|Eerste Schipvaart]]'', to the [[East Indies]]. It first appeared on a {{convert|35|cm|in|adj=mid|-diameter}} celestial globe published in 1598 in Amsterdam by Plancius with [[Jodocus Hondius]]. The first depiction of this constellation in a [[celestial atlas]] was in the German cartographer [[Johann Bayer]]'s ''[[Uranometria]]'' of 1603. Both Plancius and Bayer depict it as a [[toucan]].<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.ianridpath.com/startales/bayer-southern.html | title=Bayer's Southern Star Chart|work=Star Tales|last1=Ridpath|first1=Ian|author-link=Ian Ridpath|publisher=self-published | access-date= 18 September 2020}}</ref><!-- cites previous three sentences --><ref name=jasc45_215/> De Houtman included it in his southern star catalogue the same year under the Dutch name ''Den Indiaenschen Exster, op Indies Lang ghenaemt'' "the Indian magpie, named Lang in the Indies",<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.ianridpath.com/startales/startales1c.html#houtman | title=Frederick de Houtman's Catalogue|last1=Ridpath|first1=Ian|publisher=self-published|work=Star Tales | access-date= 19 October 2013}}</ref> by this meaning a particular bird with a long beak—a [[hornbill]], a bird native to the [[East Indies]].
