Excerpt: Each constellation of the celestial sphere has at least one first astronomical X-ray source, an X-1 X-ray source other than the Sun (extrasolar), initially detected between June 12, 1962, Scorpius X-1, and April 6, 1980, Corona Australis X-1 (CrA X-1), though many never received the X-1 designation. In addition to a chronological description, there is a list of the first X-ray source in a constellation, an alphabetical list of constellations. Approximately half a million extrasolar X-ray sources have been detected so far. The celestial sphere is divided into 89 areas. These are the International Astronomical Union (IAU) 88 modern constellations of astronomy. Although there are on...
