Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This chart shows the prominent constellation of Scorpius (The Scorpion). Most of the stars that can be seen in a dark sky with the unaided eye are marked. The location of the star formation region called the Prawn Nebula (IC 4628) is indicated with a red circle. This cloud appears large but is very faint and cannot be seen visually with a small telescope.
Русский: Приведена звездная карта области созвездия Скорпиона. Большинство показанных на ней звезд можно видеть на темном небе невооруженным глазом. Положение области звездообразования, называемой туманностью Креветка (IC 4628) отмечено красным кружком. Облако занимает на небе много места, но светится очень слабо и не заметно при визуальном наблюдении с небольшим телескопом.
