Sagittarius
| |||
The constellation is easily recognizable through an asterism called the Teapot. The stars Kaus Media (δ), Kaus Australis (ε), Ascella (ζ), and φ Sagitarii form the body of the pot, Kaus Borealis (λ) is the point of th elid, Alnasl (γ) is the tip of the spout, and Nunki (σ) and τ Sagitarii are the handle.
The α star, Rukbat, is nowhere near the brightest star of the constellation, having a magnitude of only 4,0.
The Milky Way is at its densest as it passes through Sagittarius, as this is where the galactic centre lies. Consequently, Sagittarius contains many star clusters and nebulae. One of the brightest of the star clusters is M55, about 7,5° west of δ Sgr.
The constellation contains nebulae such as the Lagoon Nebula (M8), near λ Sagitarii, beautiful in telescopes; the Omega, Swan, or Horseshoe Nebula (M17), near the border with Scutum; and the Triffid Nebula (M20), a large nebula containing some very young, hot stars.
The complex radio source Sagittarius A associated with the galactic centre is also here. Astronomers believe that Sagittarius A may contain a supermassive black hole.
In Greek mythology, Sagittarius was the centaur Chiron, aiming his bow at the Scorpion.
