Beta Scorpii

[edit]

How can Beta Scorpii and Omega Scorpii share the name Acrab? Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 09:53, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Errors were sometimes made during medieval translations. Acrab refers to the entire asterism, whereas the original names referred to anatomical parts of "the scorpion" (Acrab). Praemonitus (talk) 13:41, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
