Description
This is how the stars would look facing Earth's sun from Alpha Librae in the constellation Libra.
Alpha Librae is located approximately 77 light-years (24 parsecs) from the Sun. It has the traditional name Zubenelgenubi. The name, from Arabic, means "southern claw" and was coined before Libra was recognized as distinct from Scorpius. The alternate names Kiffa Australis and Elkhiffa Australis mean "southern pan (of the scales)". Another name used in older astronomy texts, equivalent to "southern scale or pan", was Lanx Australis.
The star map is astronomically accurate, but the distant blue-green light noise, dark matter and star colors are added for visual interest.
