Scorpius is just barely visible as twilight comes to the northern hemisphere in late October. From a view on the north bank of the Rappahannock River we are looking southwest across the river to see the head of Scorpius around the spire of Fredericksburg Baptist Church. This area of the sky is marked by one of the more contorted and difficult constellation boundaries between Scorpius and Ophiuchus. Unannotated image. |
