Nu Scorpii

One of the most interesting areas of the night sky, Scorpius holds a myriad of nebula and beautifully contrasting coloured stars.

Moving towards the tail, you'll find Nu Scorpii a binary star system 7 stars.

If that alone isn't enough to get your mind wondering how all these stars are orbiting each other, the star system itself is the eye of a horses head ! Albeit a nebulous head.

IC 4592 is a reflective nebula, with the blue light reflected from fine dust, that blue light is coming from the Nu Scorpii system above.

Pull out and you'll see the whole region contains many star forming areas with reflective features.
