How far is Sagittarius from the moon?

Answer 1

Sagittarius A* is approximatly 25 000 ly away from the Earth (Wikipedia, 22 May 2009, "Galactic Center"). The real point of interest in the center of the milky way is the Super massive black hole located there. This black hole is thought by some to be the cause of the "Doomsday" on December 21st, 2012. however, as a black hole can not expand at a speed faster than the speed of light, this is highly unlikely.

Answer 2

It makes sense to talk about the distance to a star, but not to a constellation. A constellation is traditionally defined as a pattern of stars - the stars are at different distances. According to the modern definition, a constellation is more like a direction in space.

Answer 3

Sagittarius, like the other constellations, is an imaginary pattern in the sky formed by

imaginary lines that connect several stars. The individual stars in a constellation have

no relationship or association to each other. Every star in a constellation generally has

a different color, temperature, size, age, and distance from earth.

Answer 4

Libra is 20.5 light years from Earth. It is the constellation of the scale.

Answer 5

Virgo is a constellation, meaning it is composed of many different stars with different distances.

Answer 6

the stars in the constellation have different distances. for example the alpha star is 109 light years away and the beta star is 314 light years away.

Answer 7

There are many stars in Capricorn, each of which is at a different distance, so the question is unanswerable.

Answer 8

A constellation is not a specific object in space. It is more like a direction in space. So, constellation Sagittarius starts RIGHT HERE and goes out millions and billions of light years.

Answer 9

Van Maanen's at 14 light years
