Arab astronomers called the Libra constellation "Zubana," which can mean either "weighing scales" or "scorpion." It is fairly faint, with no first magnitude stars, and lies between Virgo to the west and Scorpius to the east. Beta Librae, also known as Zubeneschamali, is the brightest star in the constellation.
