Centaurus
The Centaur
A rich and extensive constellation of the southern sky. Centaurus contains much that is of interest, but is perhaps most famous for the stars Proxima and Alpha Centauri, the nearest stars to Earth's Solar System. Relative Galactic Position of Centaurus
The space enclosed by the constellation Centaurus includes a part of the Galactic Nucleus and, beyond that, the long arc of the distant Sagittarius Arm.
