Scorpio, the eighth house of the zodiac, lies in the east of Libra and the west of Sagittarius. Its birth date is 65438+1October 24th-165438+1October 22nd.

Scorpio is the most conspicuous constellation in summer. There are many bright stars in it, and there are more than 20 brighter than 4m. 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". In ancient China, the alpha star of Scorpio was placed in the center of the 28th night, which was called "Antares".

Extended data

The origin of the twelve constellations:

More than 2000 years ago, the Greek astronomer Hipparchus (190 ~ 120 BC) divided the ecliptic into twelve segments, with spring divided into zero, and every 30 degrees from the vernal equinox (that is, the zero degree of the ecliptic) as a palace, taking the main constellations contained in each palace at that time.

Babies born when the earth moves to every fraction (constellation) will always have some similar characteristics when they grow up, including behavioral characteristics. By connecting these associations (rich imagination and creativity) in series, these constellations are visualized; It also adds the color of myth and becomes an important part of culture (mainly Greek and Roman mythology).
