Best Answer

The scorpius constellation is one of the few constellation that actually looks like its name (which means scorpion). Find some pictures of the constellation, perhaps you can notice it.

Scorpius is the Greek word for scorpion, which is what the ancient Greeks thought the constellation resembled.
