Arcturus 音标拼音: [,ɑrkt'ʊrəs] [,ɑrkt'ɚəs] n. 大角星 大角星 Arcturus n 1: the 4th brightest star and the brightest star in the constellation Bootes; 36 light-years from Earth Arcturus \Arc*tu"rus\, n. [L. Arcturus, Gr. ? bearward, equiv. to ?; ? bear ? ward, guard. See {Arctic}.] (Anat.) A fixed star of the first magnitude in the constellation Bo["o]tes. [1913 Webster] Note: Arcturus has sometimes been incorrectly used as the name of the constellation, or even of Ursa Major. [1913 Webster] Canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons [Rev. Ver.: "the Bear with her train"]. --Job xxxviii. 32. [1913 Webster] Arcturus bear-keeper, the name given by the ancients to the brightest star in the constellation Bootes. In the Authorized Version (Job 9:9; 38:32) it is the rendering of the Hebrew word _'ash_, which probably designates the constellation the Great Bear. This word ('ash) is supposed to be derived from an Arabic word meaning night-watcher, because the Great Bear always revolves about the pole, and to our nothern hemisphere never sets.
