Observed through a small telescope, Beta Scorpii is found to be a binary star with a separation between the two components of 14 arcseconds, putting them at least 2200 astronomical units apart. They are both hot, B-class stars at least 10 times as massive as our own Sun, and will have short lives. Both are expected to end their stellar evolution in massive supernovae.
