Open clusters M6 and M7 in Scorpio - Open clusters M6 and M7 in Scorpius - The star clusters M6 (NGC 6405), at the top right, and M7 (NGC 6475), at the bottom of the image, are two open clusters located in the constellation Scorpio. M6, the Butterfly Cluster, at upper right, is a wonderful open cluster, it can be seen about 4 degrees northwest of M7, with both clusters being located in Scorpius. M7, at bottom, consists of 80 stars brighter than magnitude 10 in a field of about 1.3 degrees apparent diameter. It was known to Ptolemy who mentioned it in 130 AD. Both clusters are visible with the unaided eye in a rich area of Milky Way located between Sagittarius and Scorpius

Exoplanete Gliese 667 Cb - The system Gliese 667 (Artist's impression) - Gliese 667 Cb is an exoplanet orbiting the star Gliese 667 C, located about 23 years ago - light from Earth in the constellation of the scorpion. This super Earth was detected using the HARPS program at the La Silla Observatory in Chile in October 2009. On 19 October 2009, the team who built the High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher, better known as HARPS, the spectrograph for ESO's 3.6 - metre telescope, reported on the incredible discovery of some 32 new exoplanets, cementing Harps's position as the world's foremost exoplanet hunter. One of these is surrounding the star Gliese 667 C, which belongs to a triple system. The 6 Earth - mass exoplanet circulates around its low - mass host star at a distance equal to only 1/20th of the Earth - Sun distance.

Exoplanete Gliese 667 Cb - The system Gliese 667 (Artist's impression) - Gliese 667 Cb is an exoplanet orbiting the star Gliese 667 C, located about 23 years ago - light from Earth in the constellation of the scorpion. This super Earth was detected using the HARPS program at the La Silla Observatory in Chile in October 2009. On 19 October 2009, the team who built the High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher, better known as HARPS, the spectrograph for ESO's 3.6 - metre telescope, reported on the incredible discovery of some 32 new exoplanets, cementing Harps's position as the world's foremost exoplanet hunter.

Exoplanete PSR B1620-26 b - Mathusalem - Exoplanet PSR B1620-26 b - Methuselah: PSR B1620-26 b, unofficially nicknamed Mathusalem is a circumbinary exoplanet of about 2.5 Jovian masses. It would be the oldest known planet, perhaps 13 billion years old. Discovered in 1993 around the binary system formed by PSR B1620-26 and WD B1620-26, respectively a pulsar and a white dwarf orbiting around each other. This system is approximately 12,400 light-years away from Earth in the M4 globular cluster of the constellation Scorpio. PSR B1620-26 b is an extrasolar planet located approximately 12,400 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Scorpius. It bears the unofficial nickname “” Methuselah”” due to its extreme age. The planet is in a circumbinary orbit around a pulsar (PSR B1620-26) and a white dwarf (WD B1620-26)) and is the first circumbinary planet ever confirmed. It is also the first planet found in a globular cluster. The planet is one of the oldest known extrasolar planets, b

This curious un - named nebula is governed by radiation from very luminous stars some distance from the nebula. The direction of the radiation source can be seen from the flow pattern in the dark cloud and the extensive bright red rims at the end of the nebula that is exposed to radiation from the hot stars. This part of the nebula is reminiscent of the famous Horsehead nebula in Orion, which is also the consequence of starlight destroying a dark cloud. The source of the energy here is the Scorpius OB association, a group of brilliant, very hot stars, about 5000 light years away from us

A bright yellow star is in the foreground. This cluster is one of many in the sparkling southern constellation of Scorpius. It is marked by a bright yellow star (spectral type K5) which happens to be in the foreground at a distance of about 1000 light years. The cluster itself is about 3,500 light years from the sun. The cluster is slightly dimmed by foreground dust. This so - called interstellar extinction is common with object close to the Galactic plane. Despite this, it is possible to estimate the age of the cluster by measuring the color and relative brightness of its stars. The age turns out to be about 50 million years, which is quite mature for an open cluster of this type. By now, most of the brightest stars will have turned into supernovae and vanished, leaving this quite modest group to compete with the many

The star - forming nebula NGC 6334 shows no evidence of a blue component in their colour - indeed, the blue - light plate used in these 3 - colour pictures had no nebulous image at all - nor is there any obvious sign of the bright blue stars normally found in these objects. They are excellent examples of the phenomenon known as 'interstellar reddening', the selective removal of blue light by minute particles of dust in the line of sight. This accounts for both the ruddy hue and apparent absence of blue stars. The hot stars are present but only some of the red part of their light is seen so they are not conspicuous. This nebula is quite nearby (5500 light years) but located close to the Galactic plane and are buried in the dust of the Milky Way. Careful measurement of the colour

Nebula NGC 6334 in the Scorpion - The 'reddened' nebulosity of NGC 6334 - The nebula NGC 6334 is located about 5500 years - light from Earth. Image made with the 1.2m Telescope of Schmidt UK from Siding Spring. The star - forming nebula NGC 6334 shows no evidence of a blue component in their colour - indeed, the blue - light plate used in these 3 - colour pictures had no nebulous image at all - nor is there any obvious sign of the bright blue stars normally found in these objects. They are excellent examples of the phenomenon known as 'interstellar reddening', the selective removal of blue light by minute particles of dust in the line of sight. This accounts for both the ruddy hue and apparent absence of blue stars. The hot stars are present but only some of the red part of their light is seen so they are not conspicuous. This nebula is quite nearby (5500 light years) but located close to the Galactic plane and are buried in the dust of the Milky Way. Careful measurement of the colour

Image made with a 130 mm Astrophysics bezel, one hour of laying. NGC 6334 is the Cat's Paw nebula in Scorpius.It is a large area of emission nebulosity more than a half of a degree in size located about 3 degrees northwest of Lambda and Upsilon Scorpii, the stinger in the Scorpion's tail, which are also called the Cat's Eyes. To the upper left of NGC 6334 is an area almost devoid of stars which is dark nebula B 257. Radio source RCW 127 is also located in NGC 6334

Nebulae NGC 6334 and NGC 6357 in Scorpio - Nebulae NGC 6334 and NGC 6357 in Scorpius: These nebulae are located about 5500 light years from Earth - Located in the constellation of Scorpius, the Cat's Paw Nebula resemble a faint, luminous paw-print on the sky. Deep images reveal that the nebula is about a degree across in the sky. At a distance of about 5500 light-years away it is a truly vast structure spanning almost 100 light-years across. The sculpted gases of NGC 6334 are illuminated by the light of numerous powerful stars, some exceeding 10 solar masses. The two brilliant blue stars in the upper left are Lambda and Kappa Scorpii. Many of these luminous hot stars are surprisingly not visible because they lie within the dusty plane of our galaxy. At infrared wavelengths the numerous hot stars are revealed and the nature of this object as a region of massive star formation becomes clear. In the past decade water masers, molecular outflows, and x-ray sources have provided direct evide
