About (Constellation)
To find Scorpius, wait until it gets really dark (at least 10 or 10:30 local time). Then go outside and look south. On June evenings, Scorpius crosses the meridian between 11 and 12 midnight.

Myths: In one version, Apollo sent the Scorpion after Orion, jealousy of Artemis' attentions to Orion. Later, for killing her friend, Apollo helped Artemis hang Orion's image in the night sky. However, the scorpion was also placed up there, and every time it comes up on the horizon, Orion starts to sink into the other side of the sky, still running from the attacker.

Parallax (A way to measure distance in space)
1/0.012=83.33*3.262=271.82 p=distance from the earth to star Steps to finding the stellar parallax: 1. look at star from two locations (opposite sides of sun) 2. measure angular distance that the star appeared to move 3. convert the angle by dividing one by the angle.
