They depicted it either as a four-legged bison with the head of a man or a creature with a human head and torso attached to the rear legs of a bison or bull. The Babylonians associated the creature with the Sun god Utu (Shamash).</p> <p>In Greek and Roman times, the constellation Centaurus was associated with a centaur, a mythical creature that was half man, half horse. However, it is not entirely clear which centaur the constellation represents.</p> <p>According to Ovid, the Roman poet who lived at the turn of the first millennium, it represents Chiron, the wise centaur who mentored many well-known Greek heroes: Achilles, Jason, Theseus, Heracles, and Apollo’s son Asclepius (represented by the <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/ophiuchus-constellation/">constellation Ophiuchus</a>), among others. Most other sources, however, associate Chiron with the <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/sagittarius-constellation/">constellation Sagittarius</a> and Centaurus with one of the less civilized centaurs.</p> <p>Chiron was the son of the Titan king Cronus and the sea nymph Philyra. Cronus seduced the nymph, but two were surprised by Cronus’ wife Rhea. To evade being caught in the act, Cronus turned himself into a horse. As a result, Philyra gave birth to a hybrid son.</p> <p>Chiron was a well-known and respected teacher of medicine, music and hunting. He lived in a cave on Mount Pelion and taught many young princes and future heroes. He met a tragic end after being accidentally struck by one of Heracles’ arrows, which the hero had dipped in Hydra’s blood, a poison for which there was no cure.</p> <p>Being the son of the immortal Cronus, Chiron was himself immortal. When the arrow struck him, he was in terrible pain, but stayed alive. Zeus eventually released the centaur from immortality, allowing him to pass, and later placed him among the stars.</p> <p>Centaurus is usually depicted as a centaur sacrificing an animal, represented by the constellation Lupus, to the gods on the altar represented by <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/ara-constellation/">Ara constellation</a>. The centaur’s front legs are marked by two of the <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/brightest-stars/">brightest stars in the sky</a>, Alpha and <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/hadar/">Beta Centauri</a>, also known as Rigil Kentaurus and Hadar.</p> <p>The two stars also serve as pointers to <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/the-southern-cross/">the Southern Cross</a>, which lies under the centaur’s rear legs.</p> <h2 style="text-align: center;">Centaurus stars</h2> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Rigil Kentaurus – α Centauri (Alpha Centauri)</h3> <p><a href="https://www.star-facts.com/alpha-centauri/">Alpha Centauri</a> is a multiple star system, only 4.365 light years distant. It has an apparent magnitude of -0.27. <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/rigil-kentaurus/">Alpha Centauri A</a>, the brightest component in the system, has a visual magnitude of -0.01 and is the fourth individual brightest star in the night sky, only slightly fainter than <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/arcturus/">Arcturus</a> in the <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/bootes-constellation/">constellation Boötes</a>. The star system <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/alpha-centauri/">Alpha Centauri</a>, however, is brighter than <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/arcturus/">Arcturus</a>.</p> <p><a href="https://www.star-facts.com/rigil-kentaurus/">Alpha Centauri A</a>, the primary star, is similar to the Sun: it is a yellow-white main sequence star belonging to the spectral type G2V, about 10% more massive than the Sun.</p> <p><a href="https://www.star-facts.com/toliman/">Alpha Centauri B</a> is another exceptionally bright star in the constellation. It is a main sequence star belonging to the spectral type K1V, slightly smaller than the Sun. It has an apparent magnitude of 1.33 and is the 21st individual brightest star in the sky, just slightly brighter than <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/regulus/">Regulus</a> in <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/leo-constellation/">Leo</a>.</p> <p>The two stars are believed to be roughly the same age, about 4.85 billion years, and 250 million years older than the Sun.</p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Proxima Centauri (Alpha Centauri C)</h3> <p>There is a third star in the <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/alpha-centauri/">Alpha Centauri system</a>. It is <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/proxima-centauri/">Proxima Centauri</a>, a red dwarf that forms a visual double with Alpha Centauri AB and is believed to be gravitationally associated with <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/alpha-centauri/">Alpha Centauri AB</a>. Designated Alpha Centauri C, it is separated by 2.2° from the binary star. It belongs to the spectral class M5Ve or M5Vie, which means that it is either a small main sequence star or a sub-dwarf. Its estimated mass is only 12.3% of a solar mass and the star is expected to remain on the main sequence for about four trillion years.</p> <p><a href="https://www.star-facts.com/proxima-centauri/">Proxima Centauri</a> is only 4.24 light years distant from the Sun and it is the nearest star to our solar system. However, with an apparent magnitude of 11.05, it is not visible to the unaided eye. The star is classified as an UV Ceti type flare star, which means that it can have sudden changes in brightness.

In the center of the cloud of gas, and completely dwarfed by the nebula are the remnants of a red giant. During the final convulsive phase in the evolution of these stars, huge clouds of gas are ejected from the surface of the star before it emerges from its cocoon as a white dwarf. The intense ultraviolet radiation from the tiny remnant star then causes the surrounding gas to glow like a fluorescent sign. These extraordinary and colorful planetary nebulas are among the most dramatic sights in the night sky, and often have strange and irregular shapes, which are not yet fully explained. NGC 3918’s distinctive eye-like shape, with a bright inner shell of gas and a more diffuse outer shell that extends far from the nebula, looks as if it could be the result of two separate ejections of gas. But this is in fact not the case: studies of the object suggest that they were formed at the same time, but are being blown from the star at different speeds. The powerful jets of gas emerging from the ends of the large structure are estimated to be speeding away from the star at speeds of up to 217,500 miles (350,000 kilometers) per hour. By the standards of astronomical phenomena, planetary nebulas like NGC 3918 are very short-lived, with a lifespan of just a few tens of thousands of years.

About a quarter of galaxies, though, defy such conventional, rounded aesthetics, instead sporting a messy, indefinable shape. Known as irregular galaxies, this group includes NGC 5408, the galaxy that has been snapped here by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. English polymath John Herschel recorded the existence of NGC 5408 in June 1834. Astronomers had long mistaken NGC 5408 for a planetary nebula, an expelled cloud of material from an aging star. Instead, bucking labels, NGC 5408 turned out to be an entire galaxy, located about 16 million light-years from Earth in the constellation of Centaurus (The Centaur). In yet another sign of NGC 5408 breaking convention, the galaxy is associated with an object known as an ultraluminous X-ray source, dubbed NGC 5408 X-1, one of the best studied of its class. These rare objects beam out prodigious amounts of energetic X-rays. Astrophysicists believe these sources to be strong candidates for intermediate-mass black holes. This hypothetical type of black hole has significantly less mass than the supermassive black holes found in galactic centres, which can have billions of times the mass of the Sun, but have a good deal more mass than the black holes formed when giant stars collapse.

It is associated with the Centaurus cluster, one of the most massive assemblages of galaxies in the nearby universe. The Local Group of galaxies, of which the Milky Way is a member, is moving in the direction of Centaurus at a speed of more than a million miles an hour under the influence of the gravitational pull of the matter in that direction. Clusters of young bright blue stars highlight the galaxy’s spiral arms. In contrast, red giant stars in their final stages are also found. Only the very brightest stars in NGC 4603 can be seen individually, even with the unmatched ability of the Hubble Space Telescope to obtain detailed images of distant objects. Much of the diffuse glow comes from fainter stars that cannot be individually distinguished by Hubble. The reddish filaments are regions where clouds of dust obscure blue light from the stars behind them.
