Norma is a constellation in the southern hemisphere, introduced by the French astronomer Nicolas Louis de Lacaille in the 18th century.
NORMA
Norma, the Square, which lies within a lovely part of the Milky Way, is centered in the image. Its brightest star, Gamma-2, is the lowest (and brightest) of the small triangle just below center.

Norma and Scorpius
A chart from a modern star atlas showing northern Norma and part of Scorpius. When he invented Norma, Lacaille envisaged it extending northwards into Scorpius.
Norma, the level:
Another constellation created between 1750-1754 by the French astronomer Nicolas Louis de La Caille. The original name of the constellation was Norma et Regula, the level and square.
Norma, (originally Norma et Regula, the builder's level and set square) is an insignificant scattering of stars compared to Lupus and Centaurus.

Normal Galaxies
Galaxies are huge collections of stars, dust and gas. They usually contain several million to over a trillion stars and can range in size from a few thousand to several hundred thousand light years across.

Normal galaxies such as our Milky Way galaxy or the Andromeda galaxy (M31) emit the combined radiation of some hundred billion stars as the bulk of their radiation.
Normal variable stars (stars near the end of their life in stages 5 to 7) oscillate brightness by changing their size and temperature.
Normally, the planets move west-to-east through the stars at night. This is referred to as prograde motion. However, peridiocally the motion changes and they move east-to-west through the stars. We call this retrograde motion.
Normally a small number of "sporadic" meteors can be seen each hour of a moonless night. Sporadics are likely to be seen in any part of the sky. During a shower the number of meteors visible may increase considerably.
