[15] [16] The star is eclipsed by the sun from about 1-4 March; [17] thus the star can be viewed the whole night, crossing the sky, in early September, in the current epoch. Lambda Aquarii is located at a distance of 365 light-years (112 pc ) from the Sun based on parallax , [ 1 ] but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −10.5 km/s.
Delta Aquarii (δ Aquarii, abbreviated Delta Aqr, δ Aqr), officially named Skat / ˈ s k æ t /, [16] is the third-brightest star in the constellation of Aquarius.The apparent visual magnitude is 3.3, [17] which can be seen with the naked eye.
Aquarius is an equatorial constellation of the zodiac, between Capricornus and Pisces. Its name is Latin for "water-carrier" or "cup-carrier", and its old astronomical symbol is (♒︎), a representation of water. Aquarius is one of the oldest of the recognized constellations along the zodiac (the Sun's apparent path). [2]
“Aquarius, like Capricorn, is ruled by the planet Saturn, which is the farthest planet from the Earth still visible with the naked eye. Saturn is associated with discipline and responsibility ...
Kappa Aquarii (κ Aquarii, abbreviated Kappa Aqr, κ Aqr) is a probable binary star in the equatorial constellation of Aquarius. This system is visible to the naked eye, but it is faint at an apparent magnitude of 5.03. [2] Based upon parallax measurements made during the Hipparcos mission, it is around 214 light-years (66 parsecs) from the Sun ...
The primary component is a red giant star with a stellar classification of M1.5 III. [3] The outer envelope of this evolved star has expanded to 35 times the size of the Sun. The star has the same mass as the Sun. [ 6 ] It is radiating 208 times the luminosity of the Sun at an effective temperature of 3,715 K, [ 6 ] giving it the reddish hue of ...
Zeta Aquarii (ζ Aquarii, ζ Aqr) is the Bayer designation for a triple star system, [7] the central star of the "water jar" asterism [9] in the equatorial constellation of Aquarius. The combined apparent visual magnitude of this system is 3.65, [ 2 ] which is readily visible to the naked eye.
39 Aquarii is a star in the zodiac constellation of Aquarius. 39 Aquarii is its Flamsteed designation. It is a faint naked eye star with an apparent visual magnitude of 6.03. [2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 23.78 measured with a 3% margin of error, [6] this star is at a distance of around 137 light-years (42 parsecs) from Earth.
