Antares has been seen and noticed by all creatures looking at the night sky. Millions of years ago it was an important star in the heavens. Antares (α Scorpii, α Sco, Alpha Scorpii) is a red supergiant star in the Milky Way galaxy and the sixteenth brightest star in the nighttime sky (sometimes listed as fifteenth brightest, if the two brighter components of the Capella quadruple star system are counted as one star). Along with Aldebaran, Spica, and Regulus it is one of the four brightest stars near the ecliptic.
All these stars must have been known to the first astronomers, the Babylonians.
Antares is a star about 15 times the mass of the sun. Stars of that size generally live for about 10-15 million years so based on its stage in its life it is probably about 11-13 million years old.
A bright, visible star, it was charted by the ancient Egyptians and Persians.

Antares (Alpha Scorpii) is a huge red hypergiant star, with a radius 800 times that of our own sun. There are some bigger stars though, such as Betelgeuse (1180 solar radii) and V354 Cephei (1520 solar radii), but the biggest known star is VY Canis Majoris, which is estimated to have a diameter between 1800 and 2100 times that of our own sun. If it were in the centre of our solar system its edges would almost reach the orbit of Saturn.
