Constellation Carpet (dobÌ.)
The King’s Carpet, actually a rug, is lying at his feet. Other stories describe it as a flying carpet some children used to escape from the Dragon.
It corresponds to the northernmost part of Cygnus, the swan.

The 52 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.
