Sagitta, a Constellation

Sagitta, meaning "arrow" in Latin, is a constellation seen all over the earth except for the Antarctic circle. Approximately + 90 ° and -70 °. It is in the 4th quadrant of the Northern Hemisphere in the Milky Way. If possible, it is around 9 pm in August and September. Sagitta was first discovered in the 2nd century by the famous Greek astronomer Ptolemy. It is considered "old" as it is one of the oldest recognized constellations.

There is also a small constellation in the summer triangle, but that dark star can not be read. It is called Vulpecula and is located parallel to Sagitta above the width of the palm. Two birds, dolphins and foxes! (And - there is a lizard Lacerta in the east, there is a small horse Equuleus under Delphinus!) Enjoy your trip to the triangle and visit this zodiacal zoo! A new moon occurred this morning (Sunday), and the night sky became dark this weekend. This new moon comes from the smallest distance between the moon and the earth two days after the perigee. The closer the moon, and the combination of sun and moon pulling in the same direction by gravity will produce a higher tide worldwide. On Monday evening, after sunset you can start looking for a silver crescent in the low sky of the west sky. In the evening after Tuesday, it will become easier as it gets farther from the sun and becomes thicker.

The full moon in August will be held on Monday afternoon. Known as "Corn Moon", "Squid Moon", "Red Moon", "Green Corn Moon", "Cell Moon", it always shines in and around stars of Aquarius (Sailor) and Capricorn (Constellation). . Sea goat), the constellation is too dark, I can not see a bright ball next to it. When the moon faces the sky sun, the full moon phase occurs and the sun visits the same constellation the same day each year, so the object on the other side of the sun moves in the same way. The number of days required for the moon to circle the Earth and return to the same stage is not evenly distributed over a year, so the full moon day of each month will be different each year.

Virgo is one of the zodiac constellations. Its name is Virgin Latin, its symbol is ♍. Between the West Leo and the East Libra, it is the second largest constellation in the sky (after Hydra) and the largest constellation of the Zodiac. It can be easily found through its brightest star, Spica. By the effect of the precession movement, the first point of the Libra (also known as the autumn point) is located within the boundary of the virgin and very close to the Virginis of β. This is one of the sky's two points where the equator crosses the ecliptic one (the other is the first point of Aries, now in Pisces). It enters the adjacent Leo constellation around 2440.
