The Scorpius constellation is easiest to spot in July. The best way to find it is by first spotting Antares, the brightest star in the constellation. It is easy to see because it is orange. The Scorpius' tail will be south from Antares.
It's a summer constellation. Remember it this way: Orion is a winter constellation and in the myth, Orion and the Scorpion are enemies, so Zeus keeps them apart by putting them on the opposite sides of the sky. Comment: Probably most people reading this live in the Northern Hemisphere. However, in the Southern Hemisphere Scorpius is a winter constellation and Orion is seen in the summer.
All visible stars are within the the Milky Way Galaxy. Antares is no exception.
The Milky Way is the plane of our galaxy NOT a constellation. We can see it because we are part of it.
The constellation Scorpius is visible in both hemispheres, depending on your latitude. According to EarthSky.org, early to mid July in either the Northern or Southern Hemisphere is the best time to view Scorpius. EarthSky.org also says, "As seen from mid-northern latitudes, such as the central U.S., Scorpius never climbs high in the sky, but rather skitters along the horizon, so you need an unobstructed view southward to see this constellation in its entirety." Space.com says, "In the Northern Hemisphere, Scorpius lies close to the southern horizon; in the Southern Hemisphere, it lies high in the sky near the center of the Milky Way."

There is no possible way you could see that constellation in New Jersey.
No. A constellation is a collection of stars that form a recognizable shape. All the stars we see in the constellations are in our own galaxy, the Milky Way.
The constellation is basically a direction in the sky, so it includes parts of our galaxies, but you can also see other galaxies in the same direction (in the same constellation).The constellation is basically a direction in the sky, so it includes parts of our galaxies, but you can also see other galaxies in the same direction (in the same constellation).The constellation is basically a direction in the sky, so it includes parts of our galaxies, but you can also see other galaxies in the same direction (in the same constellation).The constellation is basically a direction in the sky, so it includes parts of our galaxies, but you can also see other galaxies in the same direction (in the same constellation).
The constellation norma is a L shaped constellation in the sky. It runs throught the milky way The constellation norma is a L shaped constellation in the sky. It runs throught the milky way
There is no way anyone could know one way or the other.
A constellation is a pattern of stars, as we see them here. The stars need not be related to one another. All the stars in the same general direction are said to be in the same constellation, so the 88 constellations go all the way to infinity. If we lived in another galaxy, or even in another part of our own galaxy, the constellations - the patterns of the brightest stars - would look quite differently.
The Milky Way is out nearest Galaxy. It is not a constellation.
