wikipedia strikes againHow many stars does the constellation Scorpio have?
15 main stars make up Scorpio and contain several sets of double (binary) stars. It also contains RR Scorpii, a variable star which gets brighter and dimmer and brighter again over a period of 281 days.
Scorpius contains many bright stars, including Antares (伪 Sco), 尾1 Sco (Graffias), 未 Sco (Dschubba), 胃 Sco (Sargas), 位 Sco (Shaula), 谓 Sco (Jabbah), 尉 Sco (Grafias), 蟽 Sco (Alniyat), 蟿 Sco (also known as Alniyat) and 蠀 Sco (Lesath).
The star once designated 纬 Sco (despite being well within the boundaries of Libra) is today known as 蟽 Lib.
位 Sco and 蠀 Sco, two stars at the end of the scorpion's tail that appear very close together, are sometimes referred to as the Cat's Eyes.
[edit] Notable deep sky objects
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), and the globular clusters Messier 44 and Messier 80.
Scorpio is one of the oldest and brightest of all constellations. It used to be a lot larger but the part representing the scorpion鈥檚 claws now belongs to Libra.
