PIX4593873: Constellation Scorpio - Milky way and constellation of Scorpius - Scorpius is one of the few constellations whose star pattern resembles its name. The curved stinging tail is marked by the star Shahula, probably from the Arabic 'Al Shaulah' meaning 'raised tail', as seen in a scorpion. In the body of the scorpion lies Antares, meaning 'rival of Mars' for its reddish colour. The head of the scorpion is echoed in the star name Dschubba, meaning 'forehead'. However, the scorpion shape looks trucated in our photograph and it is. In ancient times it extended into what is now Libra, where the brightest stars (not seen here) still carry the resonant names Zeubenelgenubi (a1,2 Lib, the southern claw) and Zeubeneschamali (ss Lib, the northern claw). This celestial scorpion was sent by a jealous Artemis to kill Orion, who still fees the venomous insect: as Scorpius rises Orion sets, and vice - versa. However, he could not be saved even by Asclepius, the god of healing, who was later sent into the heavens as Ophiuchus, the serpent wrestler, a symbol still used by the medical profession. The constellation bestrides one of the richest parts of the southern Milky Way and is adorned by many beautiful stars. It is rich in young stars clusters and the nebulae from which they spring. Some examples are listed below. This image was a long exposure made to show the Milky Way / Bridgeman Images

PIX4589352: Boreale Constellations - Bootes and Corona borealis constellations - Booetes (the Herdsman) is an ancient constellation of a figure driving a bear (Ursa major) around the sky, perhaps holding the tethers of the hunting dogs (Canes Venatici) in the adjoining constellation. The brightest star here is Arcturus, the brightest in the northern sky; its name means 'bearkeeper' in ancient Greek. Other star names illuminate the striding figure - - Izar (the second brightest star) means the belt or girdle, and Alkaurops (the easternmost star) is the Greek for staff or crook. The constellation covers 907 square degrees of sky and is the 19th largest. Best seen in the early evening in June / Bridgeman Images
PIX4589368: Constellations of Burin and Dove - Constellations of Caelum and Columba - Constellations of Burin (right) and Dove (left) in the southern hemisphere. The bright star at the bottom of the picture is Canopus. Caelum (originally Caelum Sculptoris, the sculptor's chisel) is a small, rather obscure constallation hewn from rather thin pickings between Eridanus and Columba by Abbe de Lacaille in the 1750s. It is only 125 degrees square, making it 81st in area out of 88 constellations. Rather more interesting to the eye is Columba (originally Columba Noachi, Noah's dove) easily found between Sirius and Canopus. It is twice the area of Caelum and contans a few brighter stars. Best seen in the early evening in January / Bridgeman Images
