Constellation Serpent (RÌz.)
This is the Wise One’s serpent (Serpens in our nomenclature), which he holds in his hands. It is the symbol of his wisdom. The Serpent’s head is at the western end; it is looking threateningly northeast towards the Stag, completely ignoring the Mechanic. The Wise One’s other animal is the Eagle.

The 126 naked-eye stars
In the ‘Our designation’ column, letters (sometimes with superscript numbers) in front of constellation symbols refer to Bayer’s catalogue or to variable star designations, and numbers to Flamsteed’s catalogue. Row colours roughly approximate the stars’ colours. The links lead to the stars’ entries in the SIMBAD Astronomical Database.
