[Riku Masen]

"Thanks for clearing that up Professor!"

Riku reads over the classwork and begins to think. "Well the Sagittarius may be seen in the south......another fact....I don't know much about it besides what we learned today, but isn't it part of horoscopes...like for people in November and December? I'm not that sure..." Riku turns to her classmates wondering what they think.

Jenna nods in agreement with Riku on her first statement and promptly begins to think about the classwork. Then she raises her hand. "Professor? The location of Sagittarius is low in the south, approximately 51º north in its meridian transit, or highest point in the sky, From an area in northern Europe." Jenna concludes, aware that she went into far too much detail, but happy with herself for drawing on her old muggle classes. "I do think that it's a horoscope sign, you're right!" She said to Riku. "I never knew that Chiron was hurt by Hercules, or that he offered to take prometheus's place."  

[Riku Masen]

"I wonder if we're going to do all the horoscope signs...." Riku comments to Jenna. "It would be pretty interesting to learn about the rest, considering I learned so much more new things with just one."

Professor Grey listens to James, and replies, "look back at your lesson, and you will find the second part of your classwork for full credit."

Professor Grey listens to the side conversations, and replies to the students, i was planning to do a few horoscopes, but since the term is so short i can not do all.......i hope you look forward to the coming lessons.

 

[Riku Masen]

"Aw, yea I forgot that term was so short. It's too bad. Well if you do anymore horoscopes I hope it's mine!" Riku laughs.

"Sagittarius is the most Southerly of the zodiac constellations, found close to meridian transit from a latitude of 51º.5 North. This is about as high in the sky as Sagittarius gets when seen from Northern Europe, Southern Canada and Southern Russia; observers situated South of latitude 51º.5 North will see more of the constellation, whilst those situated to the North of this latitude will see less.

Another fun fact about this particular constellation is that Sagittarius is home to a wealth of interesting astronomical objects. This is mainly due to the fact that, when we look at Sagittarius, we are looking towards the center of our own Milky Way Galaxy, where the density of stars and gas/dust clouds (nebulae) is greatest. Indeed, the actual center of the galaxy is located at the South-eastern corner of the constellation, hidden behind dark clouds of interstellar dust, close to the boundary with Scorpius. Under dark skies, the Milky Way glows distinctly in the region of Sagittarius and its neighbor Scutum - an impressive sight now sadly lost to many town and city dwellers due to the effects of light pollution or sky glow."

Yami smiled brightly as he told the class what he knew about the Sagittarius in the sky for his assignment.
