Computer artwork of the constellation of Scorpius
Scorpius. Computer artwork of the constellation of Scorpius, the Scorpion, with a red line showing its shape in the sky. Grey areas are the star clouds of the Milky Way. Scorpius is one of the twelve zodiacal constellations, lying between Sagittarius and Libra. It is an important summer constellation for northern hemisphere observers, containing many bright stars, and the star clouds, nebulae and dust lanes of the Milky Way. In mythology, the scorpion was the creature whose sting killed Orion, so the gods placed these constellations on opposite sides of the sky

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning computer artwork of the constellation Scorpius, also known as the Scorpion. The intricate red line gracefully outlines its shape against a backdrop of mesmerizing grey star clouds belonging to the Milky Way. As one of the twelve zodiacal constellations, Scorpius holds great significance for observers in the northern hemisphere during summer nights. The constellation boasts an array of brilliant stars that illuminate the sky, accompanied by celestial phenomena such as nebulae and dust lanes within our galaxy. In ancient mythology, Scorpius played a pivotal role as it was believed to be responsible for Orion's demise through its venomous sting. Consequently, these two constellations were placed on opposite sides of the sky by divine intervention. This awe-inspiring artwork seamlessly combines science and artistry to capture both astronomical accuracy and aesthetic appeal. It serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with cosmology and our desire to explore and understand the vastness of space. Displayed proudly by Science Photo Library, this print invites viewers into a world where science meets imagination – reminding us that even in our modern era, there is still wonderment to be found in gazing at the stars above.
