How Do You Find And Identify The Zodiac Constellation Scorpius?

Legend has it that a scorpion killed the great hunter Orion by stinging him. The Gods then granted Orion’s dying wish that he never be in the sky at the same time as the scorpion. This is why, if you believe such things, that Orion is the dominant winter constellation while Scorpius the Scorpion dominates the summer nights. Scorpius is a Zodiac constellation, with those born between Oct. 22 and Nov. 21 falling under this astrological sign. Venture outside and look to the southwest horizon late on a summer’s evening. This is the optimum time to view Scorpius. Scorpius lies in the Milky Way, the part of our galaxy thick with stars. You will need to be able to get a clear look at the horizon to see all of Scorpius. Focus your attention on the reddish star Antares. This is the heart of Scorpius. It will be above the horizon and extremely obvious. Antares is what is called a red giant star and is many times larger than our own sun. Antares dominates this area of the sky, with no other stars
