Apod Entry 1.3

The photo this week is A Scorpius Sky Spectacular taken on September 11. This photo of Scorpius was taken during a long duration. A high resolution camera took this photo of Scorpius that would have been impossible to see such detail with just the naked eye. The Milky Way galaxy is visible on the left side of this particular photo. The red gas surrounding Scorpius would be a massive cloud of hydrogen gas. The Dark River is traveling diagonally across Scorpius which is visible by dark dust bands. The Dark River connects various bright stars, one being Antares. Jupiter can be seen above Antares. Scorpius can mostly be seen in the southern skies during mid-year.
