Good Afternoon, Maj William W. 'Bill' Price Not one of the better know Constellations, in my view, it is in a busy neighborhood... As I usually do, I try to find some interesting information on some of the APODs you post... I found a pretty good adjunct narrated video, which provides a plethora of information about Scorpius and Antares ... I hope your APOD followers enjoy this short video... https://youtu.be/UGY5F8MJtqY

Thank you my friend Maj William W. 'Bill' Price for posting the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) for Wednesday, June 16, 2021 entitled "Scorpius Enhanced."

The scorpion constellation identified by Greek astronomer Ptolemy in the second century is situated between Sagittarius and Libra,

APOD Background
"Image Credit & Copyright: Stefan Lenz
Explanation: If Scorpius looked this good to the unaided eye, humans might remember it better. Scorpius more typically appears as a few bright stars in a well-known but rarely pointed out zodiacal constellation. To get a spectacular image like this, though, one needs a good camera, a dark sky, and some sophisticated image processing. The resulting digitally-enhanced image shows many breathtaking features. Diagonal across the image right is part of the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy. Visible there are vast clouds of bright stars and long filaments of dark and intricate dust. Rising vertically on the image left are dark dust bands known as the Dark River. Several of the bright stars on the left are part of Scorpius' head and claws, and include the bright star Antares. Numerous red emission nebulas, blue reflection nebulas, and dark filaments became visible as the deep 17-hour expo image developed. Scorpius appears prominently in southern skies after sunset during the middle of the year."

Thank you my friend Sgt (Join to see) for mentioning me.
