Question

If you wanted to observe the center of our galaxy, you would need to point a telescope in the direction of the constellation __________.
a) Orion Ursa
b) Major Sagittarius
c) Taurus Aquarius

Answer 1

Answer:

b. Sagittarius

Explanation:

From an earthly perspective, the center of the galaxy lies in the constellation Sagittarius. When looking towards the center of the galaxy, one notes that the density of the stores becomes noticeable greater due to the increase in the number and concentration of stars as we move towards the galactic center. In mythology, Sagittarius is associated with an archer, but many constellation books also point out the somewhat famous teapot asterism (pattern of stars).
