My favorite constellation is Scorpius ("The Scorpion") due to the fact that I am a Scorpio (my birthday is November 15th). Scorpius is the southernmost constellation out of all the Zodiac constellations and is near the center of the Milky Way. Also, the red star, Antares, is located where the Scorpion's heart is supposed to be. The star is red because it should be going out soon. The Scorpion's heart may either turn into a black hole (which many describe our hearts to be like) or a new star. This constellation was also discovered by Greek astronomer, Ptolemy in the second century.
Like many constellations, Scorpius also has a creation myth from either the Greeks, Romans, or other civilizations in the past. The creation myth of Scorpius is based on two Greek creation stories. The first version of the story is that the hunter, Orion claimed that he could and would kill any wild animal. This upset the Universe. So she then sent the scorpion after Orion that stung and killed him almost instantly. In the other version of the story, the Scorpius was created by the Greek Goddess, Artemis that sent the scorpion after Orion after he tried to rape her. It is also said today that Orion is running away every time the constellation Scorpius is rising. …show more content…

They would shake and quake until the cracks in their body would finally form all over their bodies and they would eventually explode, their body particles floating into the night sky. The men noticed that the sky would become brighter every time they flew up. The women of the family had become
