Its story
16 Scorpii is a white A-type star 252 light-years away in Scorpius, one of the most theatrical constellations of the southern summer sky and the northern low summer. Its light is framed by a region peopled by the red heart of Antares and a swarm of clusters. It glows discreetly, yet belongs to one of the celestial geographies most intensely visited by human eyes.
