HI STARGAZERS; IF A CENTAUR WERE
WEARING PANTS, WOULD IT BE ON
JUST THE FRONT LEGS? JUST THE

00:09.700 --> 00:15.400 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
BACK ONES? OR ON ALL FOUR  LET’S
CONTEMPLATE THIS CONUNDRUM WHILE
WE FIND SAGITTARIUS IN THE SKY!

00:15.400 --> 00:20.100 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
HIT THE DARKNESS AROUND 11PM AND
LOOK SOUTH. YOU’LL SEE A SORT OF
TILTED TEAPOT SHAPE OF

00:20.100 --> 00:25.166 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
EIGHT STARS. THAT’S AN ASTERISM
INSIDE THE CONSTELLATION
SAGITTARIUS THE ARCHER!

00:25.166 --> 00:28.633 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
THE BRIGHTEST STAR IN THIS
CONSTELLATION IS KAUS AUSTRALIS.
THE FURTHER SOUTH YOU GO,

00:28.633 --> 00:29.766 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
THE MORE PROMINENT
THE TEAPOT WILL BE.

00:32.466 --> 00:37.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
SAGITTARIUS IS AN OLD
CONSTELLATION, DATING TO THE
BABYLONIANS IN 1000 BCE. THEN,

00:37.066 --> 00:40.766 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
IT WAS LIKELY AN ANCIENT GOD,
DESCRIBED AS BOTH A WARRIOR AND
POWERFUL BULL.

00:40.766 --> 00:43.733 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
IT WAS THE GREEKS WHO MADE IT A
CENTAUR  REPRESENTING THE ARCHER
CROTUS,

00:43.733 --> 00:46.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
A FAVORITE OF THE MUSES WHO
ASKED HE BE PUT IN THE SKY.

00:46.633 --> 00:49.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THE ARCHER WILL BE VISIBLE FOR
THE REST OF THE SUMMER. LET

00:49.100 --> 00:59.733 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THE
PANTS THING, AND KEEP LOOKIN’
UP!
