- 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).
- Sombrero Galaxy (Wikipedia)
The Sombrero Galaxy (also known as Messier Object 104, M104 or NGC 4594) is a peculiar galaxy of unclear classification in the constellation borders of Virgo and Corvus, being about 9.55 megaparsecs (31.1 million light-years) from the Milky Way galaxy. It is a member of the Virgo II Groups, a series of galaxies and galaxy clusters strung out from the southern edge of the Virgo Supercluster. It has an isophotal diameter of approximately 29.09 to 32.32 kiloparsecs (94,900 to 105,000 light-years), making it slightly bigger in size than the Milky Way.
