Can you see Antares in a telescope?

Answer 1

Antares is the 16th brightest star in all the heavens, the 11th brightest normally visible from most heavily populated regions of the Northern Hemisphere. It is a bright orangish star, the brightest star in the fishhook-shaped constellation of Scorpius (not "Scorpio"), and is due south at roughly midnight (standard time) on May 30. The farther south you are the better, but at the time of culmination (midnight May 30), Antares is easily visible to the south from all of the continental US and most of Canada and Europe. Nearly 40 degrees high in Miami (at best), Antares is still easily visible -- at times -- from Calgary -- but doesn't even get above the horizon in Fairbanks.

Answer 2

It is the star Alpha Scorpii, a red supergiant star in a binary system including a blue companion star, "Antares B", about 8 billion kilometers from the larger star. The diameter of Antares has been estimated as 700 times that of our Sun, but it has an estimated mass only 15 to 20 times as great (a relatively low average density). The nebula thrown off by Antares is illuminated by the light of Antares B. The red coloration of its light gave it its name, which means "Mars-like".

Answer 3

Antares is so large that it was never lost. It can be seen from almost any place on Earth, on almost any clear night in Spring or early Summer (in the Northern Hemisphere), at the heart of the constellation of "Scorpio".

Answer 4

You don't need a telescope - Antares is one of the brightest stars (one of the stars with the greatest apparent brightness, that is), so you can see it with the naked eye. So of course you can see it with a telescope as well.
