A tiny constellation near the south celestial pole forming an inconspicuous irregular rhombus of stars of apparent brightness 4mag and 5mag south of the flying fish, the Centaurus and the Musca. Its defining stars are α, β, γ and δ Chamaeleontis. Chameleon is, as in nature, inconspicuous in the sky: it disappears in a region poor in brighter stars around the south celestial pole. All the stars of Chameleon are faint, and the constellation is one of the smallest and most difficult to identify. It is only revealed by the longer arm of the Southern Cross pointing at it from the north. The constellation is not visible to us.
