about

Piano & Streichfett improvisations inspired by the Cosmos.

Antares Star appears as a single star when viewed with the naked eye, but it is actually a binary star, with it’s two components called a Scorpii A and a Scorpii B. The brighter of the two is the red supergiant, while the fainter is a hot main sequence star of magnitude 5.5. In the Babylonian star catalogues dating from at least 1100 BCE, Antares was called GABA GIR.TAB, "the Breast of the Scorpion". In MUL.PIN which dates between 1100 and 700 BC, it is one of the stars of Ea in the southern sky and denotes the breast of the Scorpion goddess Ishhara. In ancient Egypt, Antares represented the scorpion goddess Serket (and was the symbol of Isis in the pyramidal ceremonies).It was called tms n hntt "the red one of the prow". In Persia Antares was known as Satevis, one of the four "royal stars". In India, it with σ Scorpii and τ Scorpii were Jyeshthā (the eldest or biggest, probably attributing to its huge size), one of the nakshatra (Hindu lunar mansions).

The Māori people of New Zealand call Antares Rēhua, and regard it as the chief of all the stars. -wikipedia
