Best visible at 21 : 00 ( 9 p.m. ) during the month of August. Sagittarius is one of the constellations of the zodiac. It is one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd - century astronomer Ptolemy and remains one of the 88 modern constellations. Its name is Latin for the archer, and its symbol is ( Unicode U + 2650 ♐ ), a stylized arrow. Sagittarius is commonly represented as a centaur pulling - back a bow. It lies between Scorpius and Ophiuchus to the west and Capricornus to the east. The center of the Milky Way lies in the westernmost part of Sagittarius ( see Sagittarius A ).

The Milky Way is the `` steam '' coming from the spout. As seen from the northern hemisphere, the constellation 's brighter stars form an easily recognizable asterism known as ' the Teapot '. The stars δ Sgr ( Kaus Media ), ε Sgr ( Kaus Australis ), ζ Sgr ( Ascella ), and φ Sgr form the body of the pot ; λ Sgr ( Kaus Borealis ) is the point of the lid ; γ Sgr ( Alnasl ) is the tip of the spout ; and σ Sgr ( Nunki ) and τ Sgr the handle. These same stars originally formed the bow and arrow of Sagittarius. Marking the bottom of the teapot 's `` handle '' ( or the shoulder area of the archer ), are the bright star ( 2.59 magnitude ) Zeta Sagittarii ( ζ Sgr ), named Ascella, and the fainter Tau Sagittarii ( τ Sgr ). To complete the teapot metaphor, under good conditions, a particularly dense area of the Milky Way can be seen rising in a north - westerly arc above the spout, like a puff of steam rising from a boiling kettle. The constellation as a whole is often depicted as having the rough appearance of a stick - figure archer drawing its bow, with the fainter stars providing the outline of the horse 's body. Sagittarius famously points its arrow at the heart of Scorpius, represented by the reddish star Antares, as the two constellations race around the sky. Following the direct line formed by Delta Sagittarii ( δ Sgr ) and Gamma2 Sagittarii ( γ Sgr ) leads nearly directly to Antares. Fittingly, Gamma2 Sagittarii is Alnasl, the Arabic word for `` arrowhead '', and Delta Sagittarii is called Kaus Media, the `` center of the bow, '' from which the arrow protrudes. Kaus Media bisects Lambda Sagittarii ( λ Sgr ) and Epsilon Sagittarii ( ε Sgr ), whose names Kaus Borealis and Kaus Australis refer to the northern and southern portions of the bow, respectively. Sagittarius region of the Milky Way Notable features Stars The constellation Sagittarius. North is to the left. The line going to the right connects ζ to α and β Sagittarii. Above this line one sees Corona Australis. α Sgr ( Rukbat, meaning `` the archer 's knee '' ) despite having the `` alpha '' appellation, is not the brightest star of the constellation, having a magnitude of only 3.96 ( not shown on the main map as it is located below the map 's southeastern corner, north is up ). Instead, the brightest star is Epsilon Sagittarii ( ε Sgr ) ( `` Kaus Australis, '' or `` southern part of the bow '' ), at magnitude 1.85. Sigma Sagittarii ( σ Sgr ) ( `` Nunki '' ) is the constellation 's second - brightest star at magnitude 2.08. Nunki is a B2V star approximately 260 light years away. `` Nunki '' is a Babylonian name of uncertain origin, but thought to represent the sacred Babylonian city of Eridu on the Euphrates, which would make Nunki the oldest star name currently in use. Zeta Sagittarii ( ζ Sgr ) ( `` Ascella '' ), with apparent magnitude 2.61 of A2 spectra, is actually a double star whose two components have magnitudes 3.3 and 3.5. Delta Sagittarii ( δ Sgr ) ( `` Kaus Meridionalis '' ), is a K2 spectra star with magnitude 2.71 and only 85 light years from Earth. Eta Sagittarii ( η Sgr ) is a double star with component magnitudes of 3.18 and 10, while Pi Sagittarii ( π Sgr ) is actually a triple system whose components have magnitudes 3.7, 3.8, and 6.0. The Bayer designation Beta Sagittarii ( Beta Sgr, β Sagittarii, β Sgr ) is shared by two star systems, β1 Sagittarii, with apparent magnitude 3.96, and β2 Sagittarii, magnitude 7.4. The two stars are separated by 0.36 ° in the sky and are 378 light years from earth. Beta Sagittarii, located at a position associated with the forelegs of the centaur, has the traditional name Arkab, meaning `` achilles tendon. '' Nova Sagittarii 2015 No. 2 was discovered on March 15, 2015, by John Seach of Chatsworth Island, NSW, Australia. It lies near the center of the constellation. It reached a peak magnitude of 4.3 before steadily fading. Deep - sky Objects The Omega Nebula, also known as the Horseshoe or Swan Nebula The Milky Way is at its densest near Sagittarius, as this is where the galactic center lies. As a result, Sagittarius contains many star clusters and nebulae. Nebulae Sagittarius contains several well - known nebulae, including the Lagoon Nebula ( Messier 8 ), near λ Sagittarii ; the Omega Nebula ( Messier 17 ), also known as the Horseshoe Nebula or Swan Nebula, near the border with Scutum ; and the Trifid Nebula ( Messier 20 ), a large nebula containing some very young, hot stars. The Lagoon Nebula ( M8 ) is an emission nebula that is located 5,000 light - years from Earth and measures 140 light - years by 60 light - years ( 1.5 ° ). Though it appears grey in telescopes to the unaided eye, long - exposure photographs reveal its pink hue, common to emission nebulae. It is fairly bright, with an integrated magnitude of 3.0. The Lagoon Nebula was discovered independently by John Flamsteed in 1680, Guillaume Le Gentil in 1747, and Charles Messier in 1764. The central area of the Lagoon Nebula is also known as the Hourglass Nebula, so named for its distinctive shape. The Hourglass Nebula has its shape because of matter propelled by Herschel 36. The Lagoon Nebula also features three dark nebulae catalogued in Barnard 's Catalog. The Lagoon Nebula was instrumental in the discovery of Bok globules, as Bart Bok studied prints of the nebula intensively in 1947. Approximately 17,000 Bok globules were discovered in the nebula nine years later as a part of the Palomar Sky Survey ; studies later showed that Bok 's hypothesis that the globules held protostars was correct. The Omega Nebula is a fairly bright nebula ; it has an integrated magnitude of 6.0 and is 4890 light - years from Earth. It was discovered in 1746 by Philippe Loys de Chésaux ; observers since him have differed greatly in how they view the nebula, hence its myriad of names. Most often viewed as a checkmark, it was seen as a swan by George F. Chambers in 1889, a loon by Roy Bishop, and as a curl of smoke by Camille Flammarion. The Trifid Nebula ( M20, NGC 6514 ) is an emission nebula in Sagittarius that lies less than two degrees from the Lagoon Nebula. Discovered by French comet - hunter Charles Messier, it is located between 2,000 and 9,000 light - years from Earth and has a diameter of approximately 50 light - years. The outside of the Trifid Nebula is a bluish reflection nebula ; the interior is pink with two dark bands that divide it into three areas, sometimes called `` lobes ''. Hydrogen in the nebula is ionized, creating its characteristic color, by a central triple star, which formed in the intersection of the two dark bands. M20 is associated with a cluster that has a magnitude of 6.3. The Red Spider Nebula ( NGC 6537 ) is a planetary nebula located at a distance of about 4000 light - years from Earth. NGC 6559 is a star - forming region located at a distance of about 5000 light - years from Earth, in the constellation of Sagittarius, showing both emission ( red ) and reflection ( bluish ) regions. The grouping of the Lagoon Nebula, the Trifid Nebula, and NGC 6559 is often called the Sagittarius triplet. In addition, several other nebulae have been located within Sagittarius and are of interest to astronomers. M24, also called the Small Sagittarius Star Cloud, is a star cluster with an approximate magnitude of 3. About 9400 light - years away, it has a diameter of approximately 330 light - years. Embedded in M24 is NGC 6603, a smaller star cluster that is very dense. NGC 6567, a dim planetary nebula, and Barnard 92, a Bok globule, are also nearby. NGC 6445 is a planetary nebula with an approximate magnitude of 11. A large nebula at over one arcminute in diameter, it appears very close to the globular cluster NGC 6440. NGC 6638 is a dimmer globular at magnitude 9.2, though it is more distant than M71 at a distance of 26,000 light - years. It is a Shapley class VI cluster ; the classification means that it has an intermediate concentration at its core. It is approximately a degree away from the brighter globulars M22 and M28 ; NGC 6638 is southeast and southwest of the clusters respectively. Other deep sky Objects Messier 54 was the first globular cluster found that is outside the Milky Way. In 1999 a violent outburst at V4641 Sgr was thought to have revealed the location of the closest known black hole to Earth, but later investigation increased its estimated distance by a factor of 15. The complex radio source Sagittarius A is also in Sagittarius, near its western boundary with Ophiuchus. Astronomers believe that one of its components, known as Sagittarius A *, is associated with a supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy, with a mass of 2.6 million solar masses. The Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy is located just outside the Milky Way. Baade 's Window is an area with very little obscuring dust that shows objects closer to the Milky Way 's center that would normally be visible. NGC 6522, magnitude 8.6, and NGC 6528, magnitude 9.5, are both globular clusters visible through Baade 's Window. 20,000 and 24,000 light - years from Earth, with Shapley classes of VI and V respectively, both are moderately concentrated at their cores. NGC 6528 is closer to the galactic core at an approximate distance of 2,000 light - years. 2MASS - GC02, also known as Hurt 2, is a globular cluster at a distance of about 16 thousand light - years from Earth. It was discovered in 2000 by Joselino Vasquez, and confirmed by a team of astronomers under the leadership of R.J. Hurt at 2MASS. Exploration The space probe New Horizons is moving on a trajectory out of the Solar System as of 2016 that places the probe in front of Sagittarius as seen from the Earth. New Horizons will exhaust its radioisotope thermoelectric generator long before it reaches any other stars. The Wow ! signal was a strong narrowband radio signal that appeared to have come from the direction of Sagittarius. Mythology Sagittarius as depicted in Urania 's Mirror, a set of constellation cards published in London c. 1825 The Babylonians identified Sagittarius as the god Nergal, a strange centaur - like creature firing an arrow from a bow. It is generally depicted with wings, with two heads, one panther head and one human head, as well as a scorpion 's stinger raised above its more conventional horse 's tail. The Sumerian name Pabilsag is composed of two elements -- Pabil, meaning ' elder paternal kinsman ' and Sag, meaning ' chief, head '. The name may thus be translated as the ' Forefather ' or ' Chief Ancestor '. The figure is reminiscent of modern depictions of Sagittarius. Greek mythology In Greek mythology, Sagittarius is usually identified as a centaur : half human, half horse. However, perhaps due to the Greeks ' adoption of the Sumerian constellation, some confusion surrounds the identity of the archer. Some identify Sagittarius as the centaur Chiron, the son of Philyra and Cronus, who was said to have changed himself into a horse to escape his jealous wife, Rhea, and tutor to Jason. As there are two centaurs in the sky, some identify Chiron with the other constellation, known as Centaurus. Or, as an alternative tradition holds, that Chiron devised the constellations Sagittarius and Centaurus to help guide the Argonauts in their quest for the Golden Fleece. A competing mythological tradition, as espoused by Eratosthenes, identified the Archer not as a centaur but as the satyr Crotus, son of Pan, who Greeks credited with the invention of archery. According to myth, Crotus often went hunting on horseback and lived among the Muses, who requested that Zeus place him in the sky, where he is seen demonstrating archery. The arrow of this constellation points towards the star Antares, the `` heart of the scorpion '', and Sagittarius stands poised to attack should Scorpius ever attack the nearby Hercules, or to avenge Scorpius 's slaying of Orion.
