The Greek constellation of Hydra is an adaptation of a Babylonian constellation: the MUL.APIN includes a "serpent" constellation (MUL.DINGIR.MUŠ) that loosely corresponds to Hydra. It is one of two Babylonian "serpent" constellations (the other being the origin of the Greek Serpens), a mythological hybrid of serpent, lion and bird. [2]
NGC 3124 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Hydra. The galaxy lies about 110 million light years away from Earth based on redshift-independent methods, which means, given its apparent dimensions, that NGC 3124 is approximately 120,000 light years across. [1] Based on redshift the galaxy lies about 170 million light years away. [1]

Gamma Hydrae (γ Hya, γ Hydrae) is a binary star in the equatorial constellation of Hydra.It has an apparent visual magnitude of 3.0, [2] placing it second in brightness among the members of this generally faint constellation.
Zeta Hydrae (ζ Hya, ζ Hydrae) is a solitary star in the equatorial constellation of Hydra. This is a generally faint constellation, so, at an apparent visual magnitude of +3.10, [ 2 ] this is the third-brightest member after Alphard and Gamma Hydrae .
