The Messier 80 globular cluster in the constellation Scorpius is located about 28, 000 light-year s from the Sun and contains hundreds of thousands of stars.

* The southern solstice passed from Capricornus into Sagittarius in year-130, is expected to pass into Ophiuchus in year 2269, and is expected to pass into Scorpius in year 3597.

An Aerobee 150 rocket was launched on June 12, 1962 and it detected the first X-rays from other celestial sources ( Scorpius X-1 ).

In the Crab Nebula X-ray spectrum there are three features that differ greatly from Scorpius X-1: its spectrum is much harder, its source diameter is in light-years ( ly ) s, not astronomical units ( AU ), and its radio and optical synchrotron emission are strong.

It is located at a distance of 8. 33 ± 0. 35 kpc (~ 27, 000 ± 1, 000 ly ) from the Earth in the direction of the constellations Sagittarius, Ophiuchus, and Scorpius where the Milky Way appears brightest.

In 1967, before the discovery of pulsars, Shklovsky examined the X-ray and optical observations of Scorpius X-1 and correctly concluded that the radiation comes from an accreting neutron star.

The name, from Arabic الزبن الجنوبي ( al-zuban al-janūbiyy ), means " southern claw " and was coined before Libra was recognized as distinct from Scorpius.

*, a Seeadler class fast attack craft of the German Navy, which operated from 1959 until 1976, then was sold to the Hellenic Navy as Scorpius

The second advantage is that many bright sources like Cyg X-1, Crab Nebula, Scorpius X-1 and Galactic Centre sources are observable from Hyderabad due to their favourable declination.

The Scarran and Peacekeeper fleets engage one anotherFar from the water world where John Crichton and Aeryn Sun have been crystallized in the series-ending cliffhanger, a Peacekeeper fleet under the command of Scorpius and a Scarran fleet under Emperor Staleek engage in battle.

Scorpius senses Crichton's revival, and with Sikozu journeys to the water planet with his command carrier, withdrawing from the battle.

During the siege, Scorpius discovers Sikozu has been relaying their position to the Scarrans in exchange for a promise for them to free her people from servitude.

With additional information from the CIA, the British Secret Service learn that Valentine is an alias for Vladimir Scorpius, an arms dealer for several terrorist organisations.

It has the traditional name Shaula, which comes from the Arabic الشولاء al-šawlā ´ meaning the raised, as it is found in the tail of the scorpion ( Scorpius ).

The Galaxy Power Rangers protected the space colony, Terra Venture, from the machinations of alien criminals Scorpius, Trakeena and Deviot.

Scorpius X-1 was the first extrasolar X-ray source discovered, and, aside from the Sun, it is the strongest source of X-rays in the sky.

Scorpius X-1 was discovered in 1962 by a team under Riccardo Giacconi at American Science and Engineering in Cambridge, Massachusetts, who launched an X-ray detector on an Aerobee 150 sounding rocket to look for X-ray emissions from Earth's moon.

The Aerobee 150 rocket launched on June 12, 1962, detected the first X-rays from another celestial source ( Scorpius X-1 ) at J1950 RA Dec.

In 1967 ( before the discovery of pulsars ), Iosif Shklovsky examined X-ray and optical observations of Scorpius X-1 and correctly concluded that the radiation comes from a neutron star accreting matter from a companion.

18 Scorpii is a solitary star located at a distance of some from Earth at the northern edge of the Scorpius constellation.

The star is radiating around 3, 200 times the luminosity of the Sun from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of about 8, 100 K. It is a proper motion member of the Upper Scorpius sub-group in the Scorpius-Centaurus OB association, the nearest such co-moving association of massive stars to the Sun.

Where possible, these modern constellations usually share the names of their Graeco-Roman predecessors, such as Orion, Leo or Scorpius.

An IAU interpretation would recognise Crux ( the Southern Cross ) above the emu's head and Scorpius on the left.

It is fairly faint, with no first magnitude stars, and lies between Virgo to the west and Scorpius to the east.

It lies between Centaurus and Scorpius.

The southern part lies between Scorpius to the west and Sagittarius to the east.

Scorpius, sometimes known as Scorpio, is one of the constellations of the zodiac.

This source is called Scorpius X-1 ( Sco X-1 ), the first X-ray source found in the constellation Scorpius.

The X-ray emission of Scorpius X-1 is 10, 000 times greater than its visual emission, whereas that of the Sun is about a million times less.

Based on discoveries in this new field of X-ray astronomy, starting with Scorpius X-1, Riccardo Giacconi received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2002.

For example, with Scorpius X-1 the X-ray spectrum steeply drops off as X-ray energy increases up to 20 keV, which is likely for a thermal-plasma mechanism.

The one at 43 μm is much weaker than the one at 60 μm, which means the water ice, is located in the outer parts of the disk at temperatures below 50 K. There is also another broad ice feature between 87 and 90 μm, which is very similar to the one in NGC 6302 ( the Bug or Butterfly nebula in Scorpius ).

Norma is a small and inconspicuous constellation in the southern hemisphere between Scorpius and Centaurus.

Antares, in the constellation of Scorpius, is now the most isolated first-magnitude star, although Antares is located in a constellation with many bright second-magnitude stars, whereas the stars surrounding Achernar and Fomalhaut are considerably fainter.

The European constellation on the right is crux or the Southern Cross, and on the left is Scorpius.

The white star in the upper left corner symbolizes Maranhão itself, and is supposed to be Beta Scorpii, as the constellation Scorpius is also depicted on the national flag of Brazil.

Antares is a red supergiant star in the constellation of Scorpius.

Tianlong 天龍 " Heavenly Dragon " is the 3rd star in Fangxiu 房宿 " Room ( Chinese constellation )" and corresponds to the Western constellation Scorpius.
