Lambda Scorpii is a triple star system and the second-brightest object in the constellation of Scorpius. It is formally named Shaula; Lambda Scorpii is its Bayer designation, which is Latinised from λ Scorpii and abbreviated Lambda Sco or λ Sco. With an apparent visual magnitude of 1.62, it is one of the brightest stars in the night sky.
G Scorpii is the star's Bayer designation. It was formerly situated in the constellation of Telescopium where it was designated γ Telescopii, Latinised to Gamma Telescopii. [9] It was resited in Scorpius and redesignated G Scorpii by Benjamin Apthorp Gould. On 30 June 2017 it was included in the List of IAU-approved Star Names. [10]
Nu Scorpii (ν Scorpii, abbreviated Nu Sco, ν Sco) is a multiple star system in the constellation of Scorpius. It is most likely a septuple star system, [5] consisting of two close groups (designated Nu Scorpii AB and CD) that are separated by 41 arcseconds. [5] Based on parallax measurements, [7] it is approximately 470 light-years from the Sun.
Beta Scorpii (β Scorpii, abbreviated Beta Sco, β Sco) is a multiple star system in the southern zodiac constellation of Scorpius. It bore the traditional proper name of Acrab / ˈ æ k r æ b / , [ 8 ] though the International Astronomical Union now regards that name as applying only to the β Scorpii Aa component.
The close pair of stars ω 1 Scorpii and ω² Scorpii are an optical double, which can be resolved by the unaided eye. One is a yellow giant, [9] while the other is a blue B-type star in the Scorpius-Centaurus Association. [10] The star once designated γ Sco (despite being well within the boundaries of Libra) is today known as σ Lib.
