A massive and highly luminous blue
supergiant star, 67 Ophiuchi is also extremely distant from
Earth, at more than 1,800 light years. Nonetheless,
it is quite visible to the naked eye, shining in the depths of the Milky Way. It lies in the
constellation Ophiuchus, the
Serpent Holder, near the Tail of the
Serpent itself.
