Rho Sagittarii

The Bayer designation Rho Sagittarii (Rho Sgr, ρ Sagittarii, ρ Sgr) is shared by two stars in the constellation Sagittarius.
The two stars are separated by 0.46° in the sky. Because they are close to the ecliptic, they can be occulted by the Moon and, very rarely, by planets. The next occultation of ρ¹ Sagittarii by a planet will take place on 23 February 2046, when it will be occulted by Venus.
In Chinese, (), meaning "Establishment", refers to an asterism consisting of ρ¹ Sagittarii ξ² Sagittarii, ο Sagittarii, π Sagittarii, 43 Sagittarii and υ Sagittarii. Consequently, ρ¹ Sagittarii itself is known as (, .)
