Constellation Jaguar (jawrÌ.)
The Jaguar 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 Flamingo, the Hummingbird, the Ivory Tower, the Kangaroo, the Loom and Shuttle, the Seal, and the Thimble.
It is located in the south polar region, roughly corresponding to our constellations Apus (the bird-of-paradise) and Chamaeleon, looking west.

The 73 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.
