Centaurus - Social Commentary Journal

According to Ovid, this constellation is associated with Chiron, the king of centaurs, who mentored many Greek heroes and in the skies served to guide sailors.

We do not accept hate speech, but are open to create a discourse between opposing ideas, to spark fascinating and change making conversation.
