Constellation Tortoise (fkrÌj.)
The Tortoise, more or less our constellation Monoceros (the unicorn), is a wise and ancient – if pretty annoying – animal crawling west, being followed in vain by the Runner in their race around the sky.

The 107 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.
