Which constellation has the greatest number of bright stars?
Well, I would also think that Scorpius would have to come close. Start with Anteres – it is very bright. Also if you look along the ‘body’ of Scorpius, there are many easy bright stars that define the shape of the scorpion. So from it’s head to tail you can see at least 10 or more bright stars. It also lies along the ecliptic and is therefore a constellation that can be seen from both hemispheres and follows Orion around. I like the mythology behind Scorpius and Orion and their relationship in the sky. So I guess that it is fitting that they both have distinguishable stars.
