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
Messier 69 or M69, also known NGC 6637, and NGC 6634, [9] [10] is a globular cluster in the southern constellation of Sagittarius. [a] It can be found 2.5° to the northeast of the star Epsilon Sagittarii and is dimly visible in 50 mm aperture binoculars. The cluster was discovered by Charles Messier on August 31, 1780, the same night he ...
The Little Gem Nebula or NGC 6818 is a planetary nebula located in the constellation of Sagittarius. It has magnitude 10 and oval diameter of 15 to 22 arcseconds with a 15th magnitude central star. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1787. NGC 6818 is located in the constellation of Sagittarius (The Archer), roughly 6000 light-years away ...

NGC 6565 (also known as ESO 456-70) is a planetary nebula in the constellation of Sagittarius. The object formed when a star ejected its outer layers during the late stages of its evolution . The remnant core of the star, a white dwarf , is emitting vast amounts of ultraviolet radiation that ionizes , or excites, the gas surrounding it, making ...
