Watch the Scorpion chase Orion across the sky!

Every April and May, the ancient Greek story of how Orion The Hunter and Scorpius The Scorpion came to be in the night sky comes to life. You can read a short family friendly version of the story here.

You can really see the stars that the ancient Greeks called Orion the Hunter retreating (or setting in the West) as the stars of the Scorpion (or more correctly Scorpius) rise in the East.
