KAUS MEDIA (Delta Sagittarii). Sagittarius is known more for its two "asterisms" (informal constellations), the "Little Milk Dipper" and the "Teapot," than it is for the figure it was meant to represent, a Centaur Archer.
Delta, Epsilon and Lambda Sagittarii are respectively called Kaus Media, Kaus Australis and Kaus Borealis.
