- identify origin of the Apollyon name.
- IOTA-1 SCO (Iota-1 Scorpii). Supergiants are rare, and to find two of them within a quarter-degree of each other is rarer still. To find two forms of supergiants that for the class are rare in themselves draws the eye, or at least should. Nevertheless, these two magnificent stars, which have no proper names and are known as Iota-1 (the western and brighter) and Iota-2 Scorpii, are quite neglected, perhaps by contrast to Scorpius’s brighter magnificent stars, which include one of the most prominent of all supergiants, Antares.
- This star is also known as Apollyon according to Wikipedia but the origin of the name is unknown (TODO).

For his scientific work, Pauling was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1954. For his peace activism, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1962. He is one of five people to have won more than one Nobel Prize (the others being Marie Curie, John Bardeen, Frederick Sanger, and Karl Barry Sharpless).
