The Scorpion - romanian constellation. Scorpius is an ecliptic constellation with optimal
visibility at this latitude in July. It is bordered by the constellations Ara, Norma,
Lupus, Libra, Ophiuchus and Sagittarius. The brightest star of the constellation is Antares,
a red giant with a diameter of more than 800 times larger than the Sun. Scorpius was put
on sky by people living in warmer area, where the animal is well-known and where this constellation
climbs higher in the sky. For the peasants of Romania, who did not know much about this
animal, the constellation has been likened to a witch, a monster with claws, bloodthirsty,
which was thrown by the devil in front of the bold man who attempt to reach God .
