But Monoceros does have something interesting to see with the aid of a small telescope. Beta Monocerotis is an impressive triple star system, the three stars form a triangle which seems to be fixed. The visual magnitudes of the stars are 4.7, 5.

Monoceros fills a large area between Hydra and Orion, separating Orion's two dogs.

Outside of these is the Outer Ring or Monoceros Ring, a proposed ring of stars around the Milky Way by astronomers Brian Yanny and Heidi Jo Newberg.

It borders to Monoceros in the north, Lepus to the west and Columba to the southwest while the eastern border is covered by Puppis, therefore it streches roughly from RA = -11 degrees to RA = -33 degrees and Decl = 6h 15m to Decl = 7h 30m, ...

Outside of the major spiral arms is the Outer Ring or Monoceros Ring, a ring of stars around the Milky Way proposed by astronomers Brian Yanny and Heidi Jo Newberg, which consists of gas and stars torn from other galaxies billions of years ago.
