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" [6]) despite having the "alpha" designation, is not the brightest star of the constellation, having a magnitude of only 3.96. It is towards ...

Alpha Sagittarii is a blue, class B dwarf star.It does not appear particularly bright in the sky to the naked eye, with a visual apparent magnitude of +3.97.. The star has an effective temperature about twice that of the Sun and is nearly three times as massive, with a luminosity in visible wavelengths about 117 times that of the Sun. Based on an excess emission of infrared radiation, it may ...
Mu Sagittarii (μ Sagittarii, abbreviated Mu Sgr, μ Sgr) is a multiple star system in the constellation of Sagittarius. The brightest component, a blue supergiant designated Mu Sagittarii Aa, is formally named Polis / ˈ p ɒ l ɪ s /. [13] The system is 5,000 light-years from the Sun and is part of the Sgr OB1 stellar association.

Sagittarius may want to steer clear of Water signs when it comes to compatibility. Mesa explains that Sagittarius' "unpredictable energy" and ongoing "need for excitement" can clash with a Water's ...
Pi Sagittarii (π Sagittarii, abbreviated Pi Sgr, π Sgr) is a triple star system in the zodiac constellation of Sagittarius. It has an apparent visual magnitude of +2.89, [2] bright enough to be readily seen with the naked eye. Based upon parallax measurements, it is roughly 510 light-years (160 parsecs) from the Sun. [1]
