Centaurus is 9th biggest constellation (area is 1060掳虏). It has 158 stars till magn. 6.00, visible to naked eye (you need to go far from urban lights to see them all) .
Notable features are the Alpha Centauri (Rigil Kent) that was the third brightest star; but now Arcturus has taken over relagating Rigil Kent to 4th position. It is a triple, in which Proxima Centauri is the nearest to Solar System (and so Earth) with an annual parallax of 3/4"arc.
Omega Centuari is the biggest globular cluster in the sky. Some even suspect that its spindle like nature suggests that it is the remnant of dwarf galaxy.How many stars are in the centaurus constellation?Down to what magnitude? Otherwise an unanswerable question, do you count the stars which are in the galaxies in Centaurus for instance?How many stars are in the centaurus constellation?Naked eye distinguishable stars?
Connect the dots stars that draw its traditional shape?
Total stars in that zone of the sky?
