Scorpio is big and bright, with many stars, which can be said to be the representative of the summer night constellation. In addition, it is also a zodiac, so it is particularly eye-catching. However, Scorpio only occupies a short range of 7 on the ecliptic, which is the shortest ecliptic among the twelve constellations.

Scorpio is immersed in the vast galaxy from alpha star to long scorpion tail. Alpha is located in the scorpion's chest, so the west calls it "the heart of Scorpio". Interestingly, in ancient China, the alpha star of Scorpio was placed in the center of the night.

Scorpio is called "Antares". You see, astronomers in the East and the West happen to coincide.
