Constellation Flamingo (nymzdlÌb.)
The Flamingo was named by early European explorers who sailed the southern oceans, along with the Shark – see there for further information –, the Bridge, the Elephant, the Hummingbird, the Ivory Tower, the Jaguar, the Kangaroo, the Loom and Shuttle, the Seal, and the Thimble.
It is located to the south of the Scorpion and the Archer, in the region of our constellations Triangulum Australe (the southern triangle), Pavo (the peacock), Ara (the altar) and Telescopium (the telescope), looking south. α Trianguli Australis, Atria, represents its eye.

The 88 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.
