What is the meaning of the latin name of the constellation that includes 45 Aquilae?
45 Aquilae 45 Aquilae (abbreviated 45 Aql) is a triple star system in the equatorial constellation of Aquila. "45 Aquilae" is its Flamsteed designation. It is located 350 ly away from Earth, give or take a 30 light-year margin of error, and has an apparent visual magnitude of 5.7.
Aquilifer An aquilifer was a soldier signifer bearing the eagle standard of a Roman legion. The name derives from the type of standard, "aquila" meaning "eagle" (which was the universal type used since 106 BC), and "fers", related to the Latin word for bringing or carrying. Before that time, the wolf, boar, bull and horse were also used. The eagle standard was the most important possession of the legion, and its loss was a terrible disgrace.
