Artist's view of the microquasar GRO 1655 - GRO 1655 is a binary star in the constellation of Scorpio composed of a star orbiting around a black hole. The material of the star is torn off by the attraction of the black hole and feeds a hot gas disc around the black hole

Nebula IC 4628 and star clusters in Scorpio - Nebula IC 4628 and star clusters in Scorpio - Nebula IC 4628 in the middle left of the image is surrounded at the bottom by the star cluster NGC 6231, and by the NGC 6242 cluster at the top of the image. A beautiful collection of open clusters and nebulosity is seen here in Scorpius, just north of the double star Zeta Scorpii. Zeta is visible at the far bottom right and is also know as the “Little Cat's Eyes””. NGC 6231 is a lovely open cluster above Zeta. IC 4628 is the emission nebula just northeast of two loose open clusters, Cr 316 and Tr 24 in the center of the photo. NGC 6242 is the other small open cluster at top left.

Open clusters M6 and M7 in Scorpio - Open clusters M6 and M7 in Scorpius - The star clusters M6 (NGC 6405), at the top right, and M7 (NGC 6475), at the bottom of the image, are two open clusters located in the constellation Scorpio. M6, the Butterfly Cluster, at upper right, is a wonderful open cluster, it can be seen about 4 degrees northwest of M7, with both clusters being located in Scorpius. M7, at bottom, consists of 80 stars brighter than magnitude 10 in a field of about 1.3 degrees apparent diameter. It was known to Ptolemy who mentioned it in 130 AD. Both clusters are visible with the unaided eye in a rich area of Milky Way located between Sagittarius and Scorpius

The cluster of stars Pismis 24 in the Scorpio - Pismis 24 star cluster in Scorpius - This image obtained by the Hubble space telescope shows the cluster of young stars Pismis 24, located about 8000 years - light in the nebula NGC 6357 of the Scorpio. This cluster houses a star that was thought to be the most massive star in our galaxy, between 200 and 300 solar masses. The measurements obtained by the Hubble telescope showed that this star, Pismis 24 - 1, was actually a double star and that its mass was actually only about 100 solar masses. High - resolution observations from Hubble have shed light on the real mass of a star previously believed to be among the heaviest known in our Milky Way. Originally, the mass of the star was thought to be an incredible 200 - 300 solar masses, but turned out to be only 100 solar masses

Its mass is estimated at 5.5 times that of Earth, distinguishing it from the smallest of our gas planets, Uranus (15 Earth masses) and Neptune (17). It is most likely solid, composed of ice and rocks. But if her mass is higher, then she could be an ice giant like Uranus and Neptune.

Dark Nebula in Scorpio - A dark cloud in Scorpius - This dark nebula is located about 5000 years from Earth. Image obtained by Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. This curious un - named nebula is governed by radiation from very luminous stars some distance from the nebula. The direction of the radiation source can be seen from the flow pattern in the dark cloud and the extensive bright red rims at the end of the nebula that is exposed to radiation from the hot stars. This part of the nebula is reminiscent of the famous Horsehead nebula in Orion, which is also the consequence of starlight destroying a dark cloud. The source of the energy here is the Scorpius OB association, a group of brilliant, very hot stars, about 5000 light years away from us

Star Birth in Scorpio - Stellar nursery in Scorpius - RCW 120 is a star-forming region about 4200 years from Earth in the constellation Scorpio. In the center a hot and massive star emits powerful ultraviolet radiation, which ionize the surrounding gas, tearing off electrons from the hydrogen atoms and producing the characteristic red glow of H - alpha emissions. As this ionized region extends into space, the associated shock wave meets the surrounding cold interstellar gas and cosmic dust. This gas becomes unstable and collapses under its own gravite forming dense, cold clouds or new stars will be born. These very cold clouds (- 250 degres Celsius) can only be detected in submillimetre wavelength; they appear here in blue thanks to the data obtained by the APEX telescope which observes this radiation. Illustrating the power of submillimetre - wavelength astronomy, an APEX image reveals how an expanding bubble of ionised gas about ten light - years across is causing the surrounding mat

A bright yellow star is in the foreground. This cluster is one of many in the sparkling southern constellation of Scorpius. It is marked by a bright yellow star (spectral type K5) which happens to be in the foreground at a distance of about 1000 light years. The cluster itself is about 3,500 light years from the sun. The cluster is slightly dimmed by foreground dust. This so - called interstellar extinction is common with object close to the Galactic plane. Despite this, it is possible to estimate the age of the cluster by measuring the color and relative brightness of its stars. The age turns out to be about 50 million years, which is quite mature for an open cluster of this type. By now, most of the brightest stars will have turned into supernovae and vanished, leaving this quite modest group to compete with the many

Bright rimmed globules and their more evolved cousin the cometary globule represent fascinating dynamic structures formed by the interplay of cold molecular clouds and hot ionizing stars. Typically the head of the globule faces a hot O - type star. Intense radiation from the star boils away lower density gas from the head. The evaporated rim of gas becomes ionized by the stars ultraviolet flux forming a bright glowing rim we associate with many of these globules including CG4. Intense stellar winds from the ionizing star evaporate gas and dust away from the head forming the “” tail”” and completing the cometary shape. The blood cells are known to be the birthplace of low mass stars. Stars form within the blood cells by the mechanism known as “” radiation driven implosion”. This process occurs when ultraviolet flux from a hot star compresses surviving clumps of cold molecular gas eventually causing collapse

Djorgovski globular cluster 1 in Scorpio - Globular cluster Djorgovski 1 in Scorpius - The Djorgovski globular cluster 1 is a cluster of light stars located near the galactic center, 40,000 years - light from Earth. Its discovery is recent (1987) and studies show that its stars are composed only of hydrogene and helium. The absence of heavier elements that are usually present in stars remains an enigma. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has imaged an area so jam - packed with stars that they almost overwhelm the inky blackness of space. This includes the globular star cluster Djorgovski 1, which was only discovered in 1987 Djorgovski 1 is located close to the centre of our Milky Way Galaxy, within the bulge. If the galaxy is thought of as being like a city, then this bulge is the very busiest district at its centre. Djorgovski 1's proximity to this hub - - within just a few degrees - - explains why the picture is teeming with stars.
