[1] [2] 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 2 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. [3]
Zeta Sagittarii (ζ Sagittarii, abbreviated Zeta Sgr, ζ Sgr) is a triple star system and the third-brightest star in the constellation of Sagittarius after Kaus Australis and Nunki. Based upon parallax measurements, it is about 88 light-years (27 parsecs ) from the Sun .
Epsilon Sagittarii (Latinised from ε Sagittarii, abbreviated Epsilon Sgr, ε Sgr), formally named Kaus Australis / ˈ k ɔː s ɔː ˈ s t r eɪ l ɪ s /, [8] [9] is a binary star system in the southern zodiac constellation of Sagittarius.
The Bayer designation Chi Sagittarii (χ Sagittarii) is shared by three star systems in the zodiac constellation of Sagittarius. The brightest of these, χ 1 Sagittarii and χ 3 Sagittarii, are separated by 0.56° on the sky. The dimmer star χ 2 Sagittarii is located between them, 0.10° from χ 1, and is too faint
The location of this star is in the handle of the Bow of Sagittarius the Centaur. It is approximately 32.6 parsecs (106 light-years) from the Sun and has an apparent visual magnitude of +2.96, [2] making it the seventh-brightest star in the constellation. It forms part of a double star along with a fainter optical companion designated Gamma 1 ...
