Where is the Constellation of Scorpio in the Sky in December?

there are meteor showers in the skies right now coming from the Constellation of Scorpio, but, need to know where in the sky the constellation is located. Thank you.|||Currently, Scorpio is behind the sun relative to the position of Earth. The meteor shower occurring right now is the Geminid (peak date; Dec 14). This meteor shower originates near the star Castor in the constellation Gemini.


I hope this helps. Good luck.|||As with all meteor showers, they are visible for several weeks, so get out there and look up! :)

*********EDIT********





You are thinking about the Geminid meteor shower, where the radiant point is in the constellation of Gemini, 'The Twins'.|||In dec scorpion is near sun and is difficult to watch.
