Watch as the familiar pattern of the Scorpius constellation distorts into a whole new perspective in this visualization. The opening of the sequence pans up to Scorpius in the night sky. The brightest star in the constellation, Antares, is a red supergiant known as the "heart of the Scorpion." | Space Telescope Science Institute

Scorpius contains many bright stars, including Antares (α Sco), "rival of Mars," so named because of its distinct reddish hue. Due to its location on the Milky Way, this constellation contains many deep-sky objects such as the open clusters Messier 6 (the Butterfly Cluster) and Messier 7 (the Ptolemy Cluster), NGC 6231 (by ζ² Sco), and the globular clusters Messier 4 and Messier 80. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/star-walk-2-guide-to-night/id892279069?mt=8 | Star Walk
