About this print
Scorpius sweeps through a curved fourteen-star figure, from the upper claws to the hooked tail, in near-black, gold and warm ivory. Supplied unframed at A4 on 250 gsm uncoated off-white archival paper.
Scorpio runs from about 23 October to 21 November for star-sign readers. From the UK only the upper part of Scorpius rises, low in the south on summer nights, with the red supergiant Antares at its heart. The full curl of the tail needs a trip south.
Antares means rival of Mars, for its red colour; it's a supergiant hundreds of times wider than the Sun. Between Scorpius and Sagittarius the Sun also crosses Ophiuchus, the constellation sometimes called the thirteenth sign.
Sign dates by month: October star signs · November star signs
Scorpius plate: fourteen catalogue stars joined by thirteen of the usual figure lines. It is drawn for the wall, not for measuring exact star positions.
Figure lines adapted from IAU and Sky & Telescope through Olaf Frohn's d3-celestial conversion. Original Aphelion Prints projection, scale, colours and typography. No endorsement implied.
