The image of Scorpio lies in the southern sky and is not far from the center of the Milky Way. The Scorpio lies in an impressive form surrounded by Libra (Libra), Lupus (Wolf), Corona Australis (Southern Crown), Norma (Angle), Ophiuchus (Serpent Bearer) and Sagittarius (Sagittarius).

In China, the constellation is also seen as a dragon, which symbolizes the beginning of spring with its appearance.

Scorpio's brightest star is Antares, derived from 'Anti-Ares'. This means 'opposite Mars' and comes from its similarity to Mars due to its reddish color. In Arabic, this star is also called 'Kalb al Akrab' and means 'heart of the scorpion'.
