Hello!

Scorpius - 'the Scorpion', is one of the oldest Constellations, dating back to the Sumerians. The Greeks knew him as the animal that killed the great hunter Orion. Zeus, the king of the gods, honored them both by placing them in the sky, though on opposite ends. Thus, when one is visible, the other is not.
