Sagittarius- The Archer  Right Ascension: 19 hours
Declination: -25 degrees
Visible between latitudes 55 and -90 degrees
Best seen in August (at 9:00 PM)Sagittarius's origin is unknown. Some believe that is a centaur with a bow, while
others believe that it is an archer. Others claim that the constellation was invented by the Sumerians, that Nergal (as the supreme god of war) is found on two
cuneiform inscriptions. Yet this interpretation is open to debate, for Nergal is not necessarily linked with a bow.
