Antares

ANTARES is a notable red supergiant star located in the constellation Scorpius. It is one of the brightest stars in the night sky and is often referred to as the "heart of the scorpion." ANTARES is about 600 light-years away from Earth and is approximately 700 times larger than the Sun. Its reddish hue is due to its cooler surface temperature compared to other stars. ANTARES is also known for being a variable star, meaning its brightness changes over time. In astronomy, it serves as a key reference point for studying stellar evolution and characteristics.
