HIT THE DARKNESS AT 3AM LOOKING SOUTH.
YOU’LL SEE ANTARES IN SCORPIUS THE SCORPION AND# TO ITS LEFT IS SAGITTARIUS THE ARCHER.
SAJJ IS TYPICALLY DEPICTED AS A# CENTAUR HOLDING A BOW AND ARROW, BUT IT’S ACTUALLY *EASIER* TO# IMAGINE A TEAPOT OF SEVERAL STARS LIKE THIS.
THE BRIGHTEST STAR IS# KAUS AUSTRALIS AT THE BASE OF THE SPOUT IF YOU ARE FAR AWAY FROM CITY LIGHTS THE MILKY WAY WILL APPEAR LIKE STEAM COMING# OUT OF THE CELESTIAL SPOT.
THE FIRST IMAGE EVER TAKEN A BLACK HOLE WAS OF SAG A-STAR AT THE CENTER OF OUR GALAXY.
FROM# OUR VIEWPOINT THAT BLACK HOLE IS HERE.
THE SPOUT IS AN ARROW NOCKED IN A BOW,# WITH CENTAUR’S LEGS STRETCHING TOWARD THE HORIZON.
THE REAL QUESTION IS, WOULD SAJJ# WEAR PANTS ON FOUR LEGS, OR JUST THE FRONT?
THAT’S WEIRD INNIT?
KEEP LOOKIN’ UP!
