Located in the constellation Scorpius the Scorpion, Antares is a bright red star that is best seen low on the southern horizon in early summer. It is the sixteenth brightest star in the entire sky.
The Babylonians called
this star the Breast of the Scorpion and in Latin it was called Cor Scorpii, which means “scorpion’s heart.” The name Antares comes from ancient Greek and has been translated as “anti-Ares” and “the rival of Mars.” The latter name is believed to refer to Antares being similar in color to the planet Mars. In ancient Egypt, Antares was sacred to Isis and represented the scorpion goddess Selket. It was one of the four royal stars of Persia and was called the Guardian of the West.
