Where is the constellation Scorpio in the night sky?

Depends on your location.  From the United States, you can find the constellation Scorpius low in the southern sky primarily during the summer months.  Currently (early April), it's at its highest around 5am DST.  Early next month, it will be most visible around 3am DST.  For each successive month, it's at its highest about two hours earlier than in the previous month, so by early August it will be best seen around 9pm DST.  It's low in the sky, however; even from the southern states, its brightest star Antares never rises higher than about 1/3 of the way from horizon (where the sky meets the ground) to zenith (directly overhead).\n\nA side-note; you may notice a very bright "star" this spring and summer, somewhat higher and to the right of Scorpius; this would be the planet Jupiter.\n\nA good site that generates a sky chart for any location can be found at:\nhttp://www.heavens-above.com

Download and run the program Stellarium from sourceforge.\n\nIts open source, and if you give it your location and the date/time it will show you the night sky for you locally and identify all of the constellations.

It should be visible from California at about 5:00am. Look for it near the constellation Leo.

I have listed several sites below--I hope they are most helpful to you. :-)\n\nCorvus (Latin for Raven/Crow) is a small southern constellation with only 11 stars visible to the naked eye (brighter than magnitude 5.5). It was one of the 48 constellations listed by Ptolemy, and also counts among the 88 modern constellations.\n\nSome stars and interesting objects in Corvus\n\na (alpha) Corvi or Al Chiba is a magnitude 4.0 white star 68 light years away.\n\nb (beta) Corvi or Kraz is a magnitude 2.7 yellow giant star 290 light years away.\n\ng (gamma) Corvi or Gienah is a magnitude 2.6 blue-white star 190 light years away.\n\nd (delta) Corvi or Algorab is a wide double star 120 light years away. The brightest component visible to the unaided eye, is a magnitude 3.0 white star, that is accompanied by a magnitude 8.4 star often described as purplish in colour.\n\nNGC 4038 and NGC 4039 are called the Antennae or Rat tailed or Ring-tailed galaxies. They are two galaxies in collision, and photographs show two tails of stars ejected from the interaction. The system is a strong radio transmitter. At magnitude 10.5 a reasonable telescope and dark skies are needed to see this. The rat tails are not visible in telescopes.\n\nNGC 4782 and NGC 4783 are also two small elliptical galaxies in contact. The similar components with bright centres, appear in a field sprinkled thinly with faint stars. Photographs show diffuse material connecting the galaxies. At magnitude 11.7 a reasonable telescope and dark skies are needed for viewing these galaxies.\n\nNGC 4361 is a planetary nebula with a visible central star. Only the central star can be seen in small telescopes, but larger telescopes will show the haze surrounding the star. An OIII filter effects a small improvement.\n\nJust over the border of Corvus in the constellation Virgo lies the famous Sombrero galaxy, M 104. It is a spiral galaxy with a large nucleus and a dense lane of dust lying about 35 million light years away.

The plane of the solar system, called the Ecliptic, which runs along the Zodiacal belt of constellations, is tilted about 60 degrees to the plane of the Milky Way. The two points where these two planes intersect on the sky are in the constellation Sagittarius near the Lagoon Nebula (Messier 20), and on the border between Taurus and Orion near the open cluster NGC 2129.

Greetings,\n\nIt was probably Sirius the Dog Star.  One of the closer stars to us and when it twinkles it appears red, blue, green, and is really big for a star.\n\nIt was NOT a planet, as planets don't twinkle.  Jupiter is bright, but it's not very high up in the sky at 8:00 pm.  Venus is currently only up in the morning.  Saturn is a dim yellowish star in Gemini.  Mars is a dim orange star between Taurus and the Pleides.\n\nSo to sum up, it was most likely Sirius.\n\nYou can use the link provided for a interactive star chart that is easy to read and use.  Simply plug in your city and state and the time of day/night you want to see and most of the visible stars will show up along with the planets, comets, and a few other deep space objects.\n\n-matt

Alpha Centauri is the brightest star system (a triple star system) in the southern constellation of Centaurus, and contains the fourth brightest star in the night sky. It is the closet star system beyond our own at a distance of anywhere between 4.2 and 4.4 light years.

Did you mean Cassiopeia?\n\nIt's a constellation of stars that looks like a big 'W' located almost directly opposite the Big Dipper across the north celestial pole. Five bright stars in the constellation form a rough W (or M ) in the sky.\n\nThe name comes from a woman of Greek legend.\n\nSee the link for all the details.

Thanks, I'm a Scorpio, November 11. Happy birthday to the other Scorpios here too. :)

Orion constellation, with three bright stars forming its belt, "las tres Marías" (The three Mary´s). Next to the belt, you will find Orion´s nebulae, a spiral galaxy, like our own. The shoulder of Orion is characterized by Rigel, a bright reddish star.\nClose to Orion, is Can Majoris (the great dog) featuring Sirius, the brightest night star in the whole observable sky from Earth. \nTo the other side of Orion (i.e. to its left and closer to the horizon), there´s a "V" shape with a nice red star (Aldebaran) which represents the eye of Taurus (The bull). \nLeft to Taurus, there´s a beautiful open cluster called The Pleyades (in the story, I think the brightest stars  represent seven sisters, but you´ll surely be able to count many more). \nIn the opposite side of the sky, you will find the Southern Cross (La cruz del sur). You can recognize it because of the four bright stars defining a clear cross. If you extrapolate the long axis of the cross four times toward where the cross is pointing, you´ll find the celestial northern pole: the point around which all the stars revolve during the night in the southern hemisphere. Besides, if you draw an imaginary line from that point in the sky to the ground, you´ll get South. An excellent way to get orientated in the field. To a side of the cross, you´ll see two bright stars: alpha and Beta Centauri. Alpha is the closest star to the Earth. \nMost of these features are more prominent during summer, but you can also see them in winter fro a brief period. \nAlso during winter, one of the best constellations is Scorpius, featuring Antares, the Red Giant. \n\nThat´s all I recall. \nIt´s a very interesting sky! Consult your charts to get the most out of it. \nHave fun!

The Geminids ramp up over a few days, and should be visible most of the night, from around 10PM to dawn. Basically you need a location where you can see as many stars as possible.

South west sky.\n\nJust set the time and date in the map link below.\n\nJupiter looks like a curvy numeral 4 on an olive circle on this sky map!

Mars and Jupiter will be visible in the constellation Scorpius in early December 2006, shortly before sunrise.
