In Greek mythology, centaur is a creature with fast running and high martial arts. Although its image is terrible, it is gentle and kind, and never hurts human beings. On the contrary, it often associates with human beings and people like to get along with them. Speaking of Sagittarius, some people who have just dabbled in astronomy often confuse it with Sagittarius. The names of these two constellations are very similar, and their origins are really related. In ancient Greek mythology, there was a centaur named Ken Taulos. Their upper bodies are humanoid and their lower bodies are driven by horses. They live in the mountains and forests, are brutal and rude, and are born with good wine and lust. They are good at running and have high combat skills. The most unbearable thing is that these centaurs are always making trouble and can't get along with their neighbors. The Latin name of Centaurus is "Centaurus", transliterated as "Kentauros". However, there are also some centaurs that run counter to most sword-headed monsters, and Kay Long Xing is the most typical one. Kay Long Xing is kind, intelligent, knowledgeable and versatile. In Greek mythology, many great heroes and great geniuses were his students. Kay Long Xing is loved and respected by everyone. Unfortunately, Kay Long Xing was killed by one of his students. After Kay Long Xing died, Zeus lifted him to the sky and became Sagittarius.
Sagittarius is located on the ecliptic, farther north than Centauri. People in the mid-latitude of the northern hemisphere can see the complete Sagittarius. Centauri has many bright stars. The brightest star, Alpha Centauri, is named Nanmener in China, and its apparent magnitude is 0, so it is very bright. Except Sirius and Lao Nian, it is bright all day. In fact, Alpha Centauri is a triplet of three sub-stars, A, B and C, and its neutron star C is the nearest star in the solar system, with a distance of 4.22 light years, which is what we usually call proxima centauri. Besides Alpha Centauri, this constellation has two 1 stars, four second-class stars and seven third-class stars. The connection of these bright stars outlines an aggressive half-man, half-horse, who is fighting a jackal with a pike.
There are two images of Centauri in the sky, and Centauri is one of them (the other is Sagittarius). In Greek mythology, centaur is a creature with fast running speed and high martial arts. Although its image is terrible, it is gentle and kind, and never hurts human beings. On the contrary, it often associates with human beings and people like to get along with them. Kay Long Xing Centauri is the mentor of many Greek heroes. Among them are Asclepius, theseus, Achilles, Jason and Heracles.
