- A Sylvester Stallone movie in which he plays loose cannon policeman John Spartan, who is dedicated to hunting down psychopathic and master criminal Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes), causing havoc and property destruction every time they face off. This earns Spartan the nickname “Demolition Man”. Their final confrontation goes a little too far, resulting in the deaths of several dozen innocent hostages. Luckily Phoenix was finally captured in the chaos, but both men are condemned to Human Popsicle-ization.
- Kappa Scorpii (stars.astro.illinois.edu)
KAPPA SCO (Kappa Scorpii). The curves of stars that make the body of Scorpius, the Scorpion, is one of the most dramatic and recognizable figures of the nightly sky. At the southeastern end, just short of the two-star “stinger” (made of Shaula and Lesath) lies bright, second magnitude (2.41) Kappa Scorpii, which if in most other constellations would bear a proper name, but here tends to be lost among the host of other bright stars.
