A faint constellation in the northern sky with no brighter stars. It is located north of the constellations of Cancer and Gemini. It is largely circumpolar in our latitudes, with only the southern parts falling below the horizon. The brightest star is α Lynx, which reaches 3mag. It is easy to find, forming a fairly large, almost equilateral triangle with the stars Pollux and Regulus. This is followed by 38 Lynx and 12 others brighter than 5mag. From an astronomical point of view, the constellation is one of the less interesting ones. It does not contain open clusters and nebulae. Only a few binaries, faint galaxies and one interesting distant globular cluster, the Intergalactic Wanderer, are worth mentioning.
