The constellation Libra marked on a naked eye view. Overall, there are 83 stars within the constellation's borders brighter than or equal to apparent magnitude 6.5. [a] [2] The brightest stars in Libra form a quadrangle that distinguishes it for the unaided observer. Traditionally, Alpha and Beta Librae are considered to represent the scales ...
Beta Librae (β Librae, abbreviated Beta Lib, β Lib), formally named Zubeneschamali / z uː ˌ b ɛ n ɛ ʃ ə ˈ m eɪ l i /, [10] [11] is (despite its 'beta' designation) the brightest star in the zodiac constellation of Libra. From parallax measurements, its distance can be estimated as 185 light-years (57 parsecs) from the Sun. [1]

The two brightest components of Alpha Librae form a double star moving together through space as common proper motion companions. They are separated in the sky by an angular distance of 231" (3'51"). The position angle of the companion is 314 degrees. The brighter of the two is a white star of spectral type A3, with an apparent magnitude of 2.8 ...
The star is a red dwarf with spectral type M3V, located 20.5 light-years away from Earth. It is located about two degrees north of Beta Librae, the brightest star in the Libra constellation. Its mass is estimated to be approximately a third that of the Sun, and it is the 101st closest known star system (including brown dwarfs) to the Sun. [15]
ζ 2 Librae (abbreviated Zeta 2 Librae, Zeta 2 Lib, ζ 2 Lib), also known as 33 Librae, is a variable star in the constellation Libra. It is approximately 261 light-years away from the Sun. [2] Zeta 2 Librae does not have an HR number, although it is included in the Bright Star Catalogue Supplement. [3] [4]
Epsilon Librae (ε Lib) is the Bayer designation for a binary star system in the zodiac constellation Libra.With an apparent visual magnitude of 4.922, [2] it is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye.
Kappa Librae, Latinized from κ Librae, is the Bayer designation for a star system in the zodiac constellation of Libra. Its apparent visual magnitude is 4.72, [2] so it can be seen with the naked eye. The annual parallax shift of 10.57 mas [1] indicates it is roughly 310 light years away. It is positioned 0.02 degrees south of the ecliptic.
