7  Antares is in the constellation scorpio The Scorpio constellations story is an ancient Greek myth. Orion the hunter was the best hunter in the world and the most handsome man. He bragged that he would kill every animal on Earth. Apollo guardian of the cows pleaded with Hera the queen of the gods to send a scorpion with impenetrable armor to kill Orion which the scorpion succeeded. When the Greeks saw the stars and they way they all connected they saw the scorpion that killed Orion

8  Antares was born as part of a nebula like all stars. It will die in a massive super nova explosion and will have a neutron star or a black hole left over  Antares is in its supergiant phase of life it will soon blaze into a supernova
