The constellation of Sagitta, the Arrow // E. Slawik/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/M. Zamani

Click below for some information on this small constellation as well as an annotated image!

Sagitta, which is Latin for "arrow", is one of the original 48 constellations set down by Greek astronomer Ptolemy in the 2nd century. Don't confuse it with Sagittarius, the Archer!

This is the third-smallest constellation in the night sky. In Greek mythology, this arrow is supposedly the arrow Hercules used to kill the eagle that perpetually ate at Prometheus' liver.

There are only three officially named stars in Sagitta! In order of brightness, they are:

Sham (α Sagittae) is the third-brightest star in Sagitta, a solitary yellow supergiant star about 382 light years away. Its name comes from the Arabic word sahm meaning "arrow."

Uruk (HD 231701) is a yellow-white solitary star about 354 light years away. It has one confirmed exoplanet orbiting it, about the mass of Jupiter, named Babylonia. These names were given by the people of Iraq: Uruk was an ancient city in the Sumerian and Babylonian empires, and Babylonia refers to one of these empires.

Sansuna (HAT-P-34) is a yellow-white solitary star about 838 light years away. it has one confirmed exoplanet orbiting it, about 3 times the mass of Jupiter, named Ġgantija. Both names were chosen by the people of Malta: Sansuna is a mythological giant from Maltese folk tales that carried the stones for the temples on the island of Gozo, while Ġgantija is the name of the temple complex.

Sagitta

Constellation: Sagitta

Hemisphere: North Hemisphere

Brightest Star: Gamma Sagittae

Mythical Representation: Arrow

OC: Gianluca Calvano

Why Sagitta represents Gianluca correctly?

Sagitta is bassically an arrow and while it's mythology changes, such as being one of Cupid's love arrows, one of Hercules' arrows in his labors or the arrow that Apollo used to kill the Cyclopes.

The basics is that Sagitta is an arrow and therefore a weapon. I can see Gianluca using any weapon, specially if they have edges and are pointy to harm or kill his enemies.

I don't think Gianluca knows how he's suppoused to to use an arrow, but well, I think he doesn't seem to mind...

Here's the third surprise! Sorry if it took long to share this one! But I'm still finishing my surprises so we can participate in this game!

Remember! This OC Game is based after @ardate and @dynamitedraws OC Collabs! As well as these horror movies' challenge from last year!

When I upload all 5 surprises! I'll do a masterpost and I'll explain the basis!

Have a good day/night! Depending when you see this!

Any fans of the epic Alex Rider fanfic masterpiece that is "The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" by Pongnosis here? 👀 Because I'm attempting to join the ranks of the many fanfic authors writing in the Devilverse with an AU set after Yassen gets promoted to the SCORPIA board.

Now if I could only finish outlining said fic so I could actually start writing it, THAT would be awesome!
