Via Combusta -- The Southern Stream
The largest of the near moving clusters and the chief
contributor in the Southern Hemisphere to the Local
System is the Scorpio-Centaurus association of stars.
Charles Jayne points out that this immense loose
cluster (stretching from later Libra through late
Sagittarius in the Zodiac) must be the origin of the
fabled Via Combusta. The entire sign of Scorpio is
influenced by the presence of this vast cloud of stars.
The Scorpio-Centaurus association is also called The
Southern Stream and a stream it is, stretching from
New Galactic longitude 243° through 360° and
latitude +30° and -30°. The centroid is at galactic
coordinates 12 = 330°, b2 = +15° and the main body
of the cluster stretches from galactic longitudes 314°
to 347°.
