Description

The red supergiant Antares 600 light years away illuminates the interstellar dust in this image, and nearby rho Ophiuci and sigma Scorpii lend a blue and red hue respectively. Also of intrerest are the two globular clusters, the larger, M4 clearly visible above and to the left of Antares, and the smaller NGC 6144 closer and left of Antares.
