What does Sagittarius mean? What does this mean?

Sagittarius, also known as Sagittarius, refers to the zodiac in the southern sky.

"Sagittarius" is a free translation of Latin Sagittarius. The word Sagittarius means "the man with the arrow" in Latin, and Sagittarius is the arrow in Latin. A similar situation can also be compared with the Latin water aqua and aquarius, Aquarius/ water bottle.

Sagittarius was originally one of the zodiac signs in Babylonian astronomy, and its prototype was Nagel, the Sumerian god. Sagittarius with wings in the form of archery was later adopted by the Greek constellation system, but Sagittarius is the representative of Kay Long Xing in Greek mythology, and it is said that he invented archery, which is also the reason.

Sagittarius ranks 15 among 88 constellations in the whole day. Sagittarius has 65 stars brighter than 5.5, the brightest star is Giussan (Sagittarius ε), and the apparent magnitude is 1.85. Every year on July 7th, Sagittarius Center falls from the sky.

Deep space objects—

1, * Lagoon Nebula (M8)

Located near Beidou-2, this bright emission nebula is cut by a dark band of shielding material. It is easy to see with binoculars that this nebula contains a sparse open cluster, namely NGC6530.

2.* Omega Nebula (M 17)

M 17 is located at the edge of the shield nebula and is one of the brightest emission nebulae in the sky. It is also called Swan Nebula and Horseshoe Nebula. This is because the brightest part is reminiscent of the body of a swan swimming on the lake. Using an 8-inch (20 cm) or larger telescope with a nebula filter can remove the dark nebula-like material that almost fills the area. It is easy to see with binoculars.

3.* trifid nebula (M20)

Trifid nebula, also known as "",is a divergent and emission mixed nebula, which contains many young stars. Its color photos are very beautiful, and you can see its pink and bright blue parts. It is difficult to tell with a small telescope-the dark trench formed by masking material divides this nebula into three regions, so it is called the trifid nebula. At the center of the nebula is a dazzling triad star. M20 is 5,000 light-years away from the Earth, where hot young stars are surrounded by dust and gas.
