Soronúmë was one of the constellations that Varda traced in the sky with the dews of Telperion, before the Awakening of the Elves.[1] The name means "Eagle of the West" in Quenya (from soron, "eagle" and númë, "West"). The translation suggests a connection with the constellation we know today as Aquila, but this was never confirmed by Tolkien.
