For other uses, see Lacerta.

Lacerta is a constellation visible from Earth, named for its characterization as a lizard.

When star-gazing from Sespe in California in the 2270s, James T. Kirk traced over the constellations, through Cygnus, until he found Lacerta's border of the Cassiopeia constellation, searching for Triangulum constellation near where he knew the too-faint-to-be-seen Romulan homesun would be.
