Hazoj canoj Himatax is Seri single star asterism. This star is referring as "the lonely star" .<ref>Raúl Pérez-Enríquez (online). Seri sky culture in Stellarium, https://github.com/stellarium/stellarium.</ref>

== Etymology and History ==
All this knowledge of Comca'ac people comes from prehispanic epoch, and it has prevailed through centuries. Still today, it is possible to hear the stories and legends behind the naming of constellations and the events on the sea and on the desert.

The description of the Comca'ac (Seri) Constellations presented here comes from the book "Bajo el cielo Comca'ac: Astronomía entre el mar y el desierto", written by Arturo Morales Blanco, in which it is possible to identify the relations between sky, sea and desert, as they are recovered by oral tradition and family memories.

This knowledge has arrived to us by oral transmission from generation to generation through time and shows how the events from the sea like the appearance of crabs or the abundance of Totoaba (a large fish, now in danger), comes along with the presence of sets of stars in the sky.

=== Origin of Constellation ===
This lonely star is known as "Hazoj canoj Himatax" because its meaning is a star which does not move and around which all turns. It is present all night long, all the days of the year.
