The constellation of Sagitta (The Arrow) shows you four stars line up like an arrow itself completely.
It's found at nearly midway between Altair, alpha Aquilae and Albireo, beta Cygni.
The constellation is positioned near the East Side of summer's Milky Way, you can appreciate plenty of faint stars through binoculars. A Greek myth said this arrow is the God of love, Eros's one. The name of "Eros" is said "Cupid" in the Roman mythology. |
