Omi

Its story

Omicron Scorpii is a white giant about 879 light-years away, embedded in the intricate web of interstellar dust that wraps the Rho Ophiuchi dark cloud. That dust steals over two magnitudes of visible light and reddens its glow, like a lamp seen through smoke. It actually shines with the strength of around three thousand Suns, a luminary the cosmos hands us filtered through cold clouds of gas.
