	LIBRA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Formerly there wasn't the image of the Libra in the sky: the two stars Zubenelgenubi and Zubeneschamali, respectively a and b Librae, were considered the pincers of the Scorpio.
		In the sky the Libra is near the Virgo (Dike, the goddess of justice) and it was considered as her means of judgment.
		Formerly the Libra's constellation didn't exist in the sky: the two stars Zubenelgenubi and Zubeneschamali, respectively a and b Librae, were considered the pincers of the Scorpio.

		Just be careful of "modern" interpretations of the meaning of the stars, which are very different in content (I mean post-1700) and of course would not apply in VMs times.
		One point of clarification: Zubeneschamali, although located in the constellation Libra, is found in the sign of Scorpio.

	Zubeneschamali (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Indeed, the name Zubeneschamali, the northern one of the two, comes from an Arabic phrase meaning "the northern claw," that of the Alpha star meaning "the southern claw." Zubeneschamali is a hot "main sequence" (hydrogen fusing) star with a surface temperature of close to 12,000 Kelvin, double that of the Sun.
		While such stars are normally considered blue-white in color, Zubeneschamali has long had a reputation of being the only naked eye star that oddly appears GREEN to the human eye.
		Though not considered a variable star, ancient astronomers claimed it to be as bright or brighter than first magnitude Antares right next door in Scorpius.

	SPACE.com -- Libra the Scales, 000612 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Zubeneschamali, said Eratosthenes, was the brightest star in Libra and in Scorpius, even outshining Antares, which we recognize as the brightest star in that region today.
		And in the early part of the 20th century, another astronomy writer, William T. Olcott, described Zubeneschamali as having a decidedly green tint.
		Although I can't speak for other observers, many of whom claim Zubeneschamali is indeed green in color, to me it just looks white, or maybe blue-white.

	Zubeneschamali (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		I was reading DiISCOVER magazine just a while ago and it mentioned the star "Zubeneschamali".
		jlu Answer 2: According to the National Audubon Society Pocket Guide to the Constellations, the second-brightest star (also known as beta Librae) in the constellation Libra was called Zubeneschamali, which is Arabic for "northern claw".
		You'll see 4 stars that make a sort of kite shape -- that's Libra, and the northenmost star, at the "top" of the kite, is Zubeneschamali.

		As a giant the star is evolving rapidly, and is now most likely quietly fusing the helium in its core into carbon and oxygen, having begun life (when it was fusing hydrogen) as a hot "main sequence" class B star somewhat like Zubeneschamali.
		In fact the star is just what Zubeneschamali will look like in 200 or so million years.
		It is a very normal star for its state of age.

		The zodiac is the twelve constellations that the Sun appears to move through during a year.
		The most interesting aspect of the constellation, to me, is the name of its two brightest stars: Zubenelgenubi (zoo ben el gen U bee) and Zubeneschamali (zoo ben es sham AL ee).
		Zubeneschamali has been described by some observers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries (T.W. Webb and W.T. Olcott) as green, or pale-emerald--but is it?

		This star and its counterpart, Zubenelgenubi, in modern illustrations are shown as the scales or balance of Libra.
		Alignments with Zubeneschamali, the north claw (our New Moon Star) indicate a dharmic responsibility, that is, the need to express the wisdom gained from soul's incarnational sojourn in its previous entrapments.

		The two primary stars of Libra, (Zubenelgenubi and Zubeneschamali), in modern illustrations, form the balance or scales of Libra.
		Alignments with Zubenelgenubi, the south claw, indicate a karmic responsibility, that is a responsibility to address or complete any entrapping situations created in a previous incarnation--unfinished business.
		Here lies our New Moon theme of Nov 12, 2004, which is about claiming our self-mastery over the apparently entrapping scenarios in duality in which we find our selves, and stepping into the future--the way to change the past.

		And over 2 thousand years ago they were the claws of the Scorpion but then Julius Caesar and his cronies came along and chopped them off and re-named them Libra, The Scales of Roman Justice which to my way of thinking was a pretty unjust thing to do to poor old Scorpius.
		On the other hand, or other claw I should say, Zubeneschamali, the Northern or Upper Claw is over twice as far away as Zubenelgenubi, 140 light years distant.
		They're the tongue twisters of the cosmos, Zubenelgenubi and Zubeneschamali.

	The Christian Sky Constellations: The Tower of Babel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Because none of the stars in The Tower of Babel is very bright, this constellation is best appreciated under very clear moonless skies away from city lights.
		Kornephorus, Unukalhai, Cebalrai, Rasalgethi, Alphecca, Kappa Ophiuchi, Rasalhague, Althalimain, Zubeneschamali, Zubenelgenubi - these are the major stars that give this constellation not only its shape but a sense of the babble within The Tower of Babel.
		For example, Zubeneschamali is a name derived from an Arabic phrase meaning "the southern claw," and Kappa Ophiuchi is a name derived from the ancient Roman Ophiuchus, which was inspired by an even older mythological figure, the ancient Greek witch doctor known as Aesculapius.

		The asteroid Ceres lies directly opposite Vesta, the Sun, and Moon in sidereal Libra, conjoined and right next to Zubeneschamali, the north claw of the Scorpion.
		Actually, these two stars are the "Chelae of the Scorpion." The chelae extend from the east, from the head of the Scorpion in the sidereal sign of Scorpio.
		Zubenelgenubi and Zubeneschamali are the karmic and dharmic seats for humanity, the former about our past and the latter about our future path.

		Had to zoom in on Zubeneschamali in Software Bisque's TheSky software to verify that the nakes-eye object was, indeed, Zubeneschamali.

		Remarkable is NGC 5897, a very little compact globular cluster of tenth magnitude.
		The Greeks identified the stars of Libra with the near Scorpius' nippers: the Arabs too followed this representation and they called the two brightest stars Zubenelgenubi (that is "southern nipper") and Zubeneschamali ("northern nipper").
		The constellation of Libra was actually drawn in the first century before Christ by the Romans, who considered it as symbol of their city: symbol of balance and justice, of order and peace.

	BBC - h2g2 - The Northern Claw - U721452
		Libra is not particularly bright or distinctive, but binoculars will show the more southerly of the distant pair of stars is a binary, confirming that yes, you are looing at Zubenelgenubi and my own namesake star, Zubeneschamali.
		I went out with binoculars before bed last night to check on a bright star I could see from a window, and it turned out to be Jupiter near Spica in Virgo, with two of the Galilean moons visible.
		One interesting postscript is that playing about with the whole sky chart at the website www.heavens-above.com (warning: requires registration, but hasn't done anything nasty with my details in a couple of years) I found that the Sun was not actually in Libra on the day of my birth, it was next door in Virgo.

		Libra was also known as "the Claws" of Scorpius the Scorpion to the poet Aratus and others of classical times.
		In fact, two of Libras stars still bear the Arabic names, Zubeneschamali and Zubenelgenubi, meaning respectively, "Northern Claw" and "Southern Claw." Zubeneschamali also has a very faint greenish tinge: the only green naked-eye star.
		The whole figure of the scorpion is a magnificent sight -- sort of a "celestial fish-hook" -- and is best appreciated now in a dark sky without any interference from bright moonlight.

		Locate the two brightest stars in Libra, Zubeneschamali and Zubenelgenubi.
		These two star names are Arabic for "The Northern Claw" and "The Southern Claw," respectively, and date back to when they were considered part of the constellation Scorpius—before the Romans used them in their constellation Libra, the Scales.
		Zubenelgenubi is about 65 light-years from us and 25 times brighter than our own Sun, while Zubeneschamali is about 140 light-years from us and over 150 times as bright as the Sun!
