	Monoceros - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Monoceros (Latin for Unicorn) is a faint constellation on the winter night sky, surrounded by Orion to the west, Gemini to the north, Canis Major to the south and Hydra to the east.
		Monoceros is an almost invisible constellation, with only a few fourth magnitude stars.
		Since Monoceros is a modern constellation, it has no classical mythology associated to it.

	SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Science -- Monoceros minor but one of a kind
		Monoceros, the Unicorn, is a rather faint and obscure constellation and is often overlooked because it lies among some of the brightest stars in the heavens.
		Monoceros was probably invented by the 16th-century Dutch theologian, cartographer and astronomer Petrus Plancius, though some believe it was named “Unicornu” by German astronomer Jacob Bartsch, who published Plancius' star maps in 1624.
		Monoceros is home to a beautiful triple-star system – three stars that orbit a common center of gravity – known as Beta Monocerotis.

	Monoceros (abbr. Mon, gen. Monocerotis)
		Monoceros was first brought into general use as a constellation by Jakob Bartsch, son-in-law of Johannes Kepler, and is an area that abounds in open clusters and faint nebulae.
		Among its most interesting deep sky objects are the Cone Nebula, the Rosette Nebula, Hubble's Variable Nebula (NGC 2261), and the open clusters M50 (NGC 2323), near the border with Canis Major, and the Christmas Tree Cluster (NGC 2244).
		The Monoceros Loop is a filamentary loop nebula, part of a 300,000-year-old supernova remnant, about 3,000 light-years away in the galactic plane northeast of the Rosette.

		The story behind the name: Monoceros is a modern constellation formulated around 1624 by Jakob Bartsch, a German scientist.
		Monoceros, a Latinized version of the Greek word for "one-horned", is translated as "unicorn".
		However the name "monoceros" can also refer to a far older mythological beast, a one-horned creature - part lion, part stag, and part horse - that was depicted in Assyrian art around the third millenium B.C.E. and which might have originated as a distorted or embellished interpretation of a rhinoceros.

		Monoceros is a modern constellation, generally supposed to have been charted by Bartchius as Unicornus; but Olbers and Ideler indicate the constellation is actually much older, with it appering in works as early at 1564, and Scaliger is reported to have found it on an ancient Persian sphere.

	The Monoceros R2 Cloud (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		It is called Monoceros R2 because it lies in the constellation of Monoceros, just adjacent to Orion, and it is associated with the second set of reflection nebulae found in that constellation.
		Astronomers don't understand why the Monoceros R2 cloud is not producing stars at the same rate or as massive as the stars that are forming out of the Orion clouds.
		The new stars in the Monoceros R2 cloud have ionized some of the hydrogen in the cloud and one can see this barely in the ion map of the region.

	Monodon monoceros, Narwhal at MarineBio.org
		The Narwhal, Monodon monoceros (Linnaeus, 1758), is a gregarious species commonly found in groups or "pods" sometimes up to 20 individuals, but most often in groups of 3-8, which are often segregated by sex.
		monoceros, are found in Arctic waters from eastern Canada to central Russia between 70°N-80°N. There are large concentrations in the Davis Strait, around Baffin Bay, and in the Greenland Sea.
		monoceros are often hunted for their "ivory" tusks, a practice that increased in the 1980's resulting in an effort to upgrade the CITES standings to Appendix I. Fortunately, tusk sales have since declined and the species remains Appendix II.

		Parker’s monolithic 1978 solo record Monoceros was originally released on Incus and has subsequently been digitally remastered for CD release on Chronoscope.
		Monoceros distinguishes itself in several respects: first, because it was recorded by the direct-cut process, whereby the sound pathway went directly from the microphone to a vinyl master.
		On Monoceros, Parker explores a wide range of soprano saxophone work, though most of it is hardly recognizable as such: squeaking, squawking, and birdlike noises persist throughout.
