Constellation Elephant - Lemizh grammar and dictionary

Constellation Elephant (elefÌ.)

The Elephant was named by early European explorers who sailed the southern oceans, along with the Bridge, the Flamingo, the Hummingbird, the Ivory Tower, the Jaguar, the Kangaroo, the Loom and Shuttle, the Seal, the Shark, and the Thimble.

It got its name from the legendary fifth elephant who did not want to carry the Earth like the other four, and went to carry the sky instead.

This constellation is located to the west of the Ship, looking north. Canopus, the second-brightest star in the sky, is its main star and represents its eye. ν Puppis is at the tip of its tusk, and the faint L² Puppis at the tip of its trunk.

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.
