I removed the following text,
and substituted a simple statement that the name "Scorpio" is used in astrology. The phrase "...especially in astrology..." is inaccurate and misleading, since "Scorpius" is used by all astronomers. -- User:Bacrowell
This page states that the Azure Dragon contans several of the same stars as Scorpius, yet I cannot find on the pages for the Azure dragon, or either of the other three costellations that make up the Four Symbols, what other Western constellations overlap with certain Chinese constellations. Perhaps this is something that out to be added? 66.24.236.62 23:29, 11 November 2006 (UTC) also it worked at mcdonalds
Would this be useful information? It might make interesting reading
I do not recognize the version of Orion, in which Apollo kills him; there is a single version in which Apollo sets up Artemis to kill him, but that's not quite the same thing. In any case, Orion (mythology) should be helpful. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 22:17, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
I have a star atlas that shows a star chart of Scorpius that includes claws. They were supposedly removed and given to other constellations at some point in history. I'll find the Atlas tonight and list the title and author. May want to include the info. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.78.147.74 ( talk) 19:21, 30 August 2012 (UTC) this time it got fired from mc donalds so it works at burger king now eeeeeeeə

"U Scorpii is the fastest known nova with a period of about 10 years."
When speaking about an astronomical object being "fastest", that means having a large "proper motion", such as
Barnard's Star, which is also nicknamed "Barnard's Arrow" because of its fast proper motion.
However, proper motions are not periodic, and hence, the sentence is contradictory.
