Summer's Celestial Teapot: Spotting Sagittarius!

Summer evenings provide an excellent chance to locate the constellation Sagittarius, famous for its teapot-shaped asterism.

Although the full constellation remains unseen from the UK, its prominent teapot is easily recognizable in the southern sky.

Alnasl, a bright star forming the spout, represents the arrowhead in the complete mythological archer figure.

This zodiacal constellation, included in Ptolemy's ancient catalog, holds a fascinating place in astronomy and mythology.
