Constellation Monkey (RenÌj.)
The Monkey is located in the region of Carina (the ship’s keel) and Vela (the sails). It is depicted in a sitting position, looking towards the viewer, its tail curling to the south.
If you meet the Monkey, you have to play a game of dice against him; one that may never end.

The 76 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.
