ケンタウルス座 半人马座 半人馬座 센타우루스자리
Centaurus (the [[Centaur]]) is a [[constellation]] located in the Southern celestial hemisphere. Its brightest stars are [i]Alpha[/i] and [i]Beta Centauri[/i].

Centaurus, along with [[Sagittarius (constellation)|]], another centaur-associated constellation, has the rough appearance of a stick-figure centaur. Directly to its left lies [[Lupus (constellation)|]] (the Wolf), often interpreted as an animal that has been killed or is about to be killed by the Centaur. And between its "legs" lies [[Crux (constellation)|]], commonly known as the Southern Cross. 

The brightest stars of Centaurus, along with the prominent features of Crux, serve as pointers to the South Celestial Pole.
