Fat stars done! They’re fun to do. Need to add some luminosity around Antares and a few other spots, probably do that fast with airbrush, then the geometry begins! 😎 @Curator #MastoArt #spaceart #scorpius #constellation #zodiac #painting #astroart #geometricart

A painting of constellation Scorpius made of large round glowing stars with Milky Way core upper left BG. Soon it will be covered in geometric patterns!

The Sun is entering the zodiac sign Scorpio!

In Greek mythology, the constellations Orion and Scorpius are usually linked, though sometimes in different ways. In Hawaii, this constellation is known as the Big Fishhook of Maui.

A blue-black scorpion is facing forward on the left side of the image. Its claws are spread and its tail stinger is poised to strike. The text on the right outlines Scorpio personality attributes. The constellation Scorpius is shown in glowing stars above the scorpion, and the zodiac symbol for Scorpio is superimposed in the center of the image. Presented by Inked Goddess Creations.

Hubble Space Telescope image of the globular cluster Liller 1, showing a dense, glowing core filled with tightly packed orange and white stars. Surrounding the core, stars thin out. Bright blue stars with sharp diffraction spikes are scattered through the image.

From source in toot: Colorful, mostly blue image of mid-infrared light from a glowing cloud with a distorted, asymmetrical shape. A star at the center of the image is a small point of pinkish-white light. The asymmetrical shape of the expanding cloud of gas and dust resembles paint splattered on the ground. The filaments of the expanding shells are wispy, and mostly white and blue. The shells appear as lobes stretching from roughly 11 to 5 o’clock, another from 1 to 7 o’clock, and possibly a third from 12 to 6 o’clock. These outflows push gas toward the equatorial plane, forming a disk that appears to span from 9 to 3 o’clock. A perfect circle of whitish blue dust traces the outer edges of the shells. The background of the image is black and speckled with tiny bright stars and distant galaxies.

Etter 45 lange år selges Løkka-ikonet Scorpius: – Helsa sier stopp.

Gammel reportasje, men veldig informativ for deg som ikke vet hva det er snakk om:
Blå fortau, blå fasade og veggmalerier.

Til og med fortauet foran er blått og med 164 gullstjerner, men det er med Evens hånd og landet ham en heftig anmeldelse til politiet. Anklagen: tilgrising av byen.

Over the next few nights look in the South and see if you can find the bright star Antares in the constellation Scorpius.

Check on September 1 at the same time for the Moon to visit this area of the sky.

Twee sterren zorgen voor de onregelmatige vorm van NGC 6072

Met behulp van twee instrumenten aan boord van de Webb Space Telescope hebben astronomen nieuwe opnames gemaakt van de planetaire nevel NGC 6072.

Deze Webb/NIRCam-opname toont NGC 6072, een planetaire nevel, ongeveer 4048 lichtjaar ver weg in het

📸 Cat's Paw Nebula from JWST

This stunning nebula, also known as NGC 6334 or the Bear Claw, lies 5,700 light-years away in Scorpius. Captured in infrared by the James Webb Space Telescope, it reveals a turbulent stellar nursery where stars nearly 10 times the Sun’s mass are still forming.

📷 NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI

An intricate infrared image of the Cat’s Paw Nebula (NGC 6334), glowing with vibrant shades of red, orange, and gold. The nebula’s structure resembles a paw print, with rounded, glowing pads of gas and dust surrounded by dark filaments. Dozens of bright stars are scattered throughout the scene. The colors highlight complex regions of star formation and turbulent gas within this stellar nursery, located in the constellation Scorpius.

📸 Messier 6 – The Butterfly Cluster

A cluster of about 100 young stars spreads its wings in Scorpius. Known as the Butterfly Cluster, Messier 6 glows with brilliant blue stars and one striking orange giant: BM Scorpii.
It spans 25 light-years near the heart of the Milky Way.

A rich star field showing Messier 6, the Butterfly Cluster. At the center, dozens of brilliant blue stars form a loose, wing-like shape against a background of reddish hydrogen gas. Near the top right of the cluster, a cooler orange star stands out—this is BM Scorpii. The stars sparkle sharply, and the reddish nebula glows around the edges of the frame, adding color and contrast.
