Ptolemy presents these stars as the Claws of the Scorpion; the figure of Libra, the Scales of Justice, appears to have been a Roman invention.
The figures of Libra and Scorpio lean to the south of the band of the Zodiac.
The figure of Ophiuchus and Serpens, directly to their north, is cited by some as the thirteenth figure of the Zodiac.
Here, we focus our attention on μ Ser, part of an interesting cluster. And from there. . .
We’ll admit, we let ourselves wander here. Hopefully you’ll enjoy wandering with us.
