Theta Ophiuchi, Latinized from θ Ophiuchi, is a multiple star system in the equatorial constellation of Ophiuchus. It lies on the "right foot" of the serpent-bearer, just southwest of Kepler's Star, the nova of 1604.

Rho Ophiuchi (ρ Ophiuchi) is a multiple star system in the constellation Ophiuchus. The central system has an apparent magnitude of 4.63. [2] Based on the central system's parallax of 9.03 mas, [1] it is located about 360 light-years (110 parsecs) away. [1] The other stars in the system are slightly farther away. [11]
NeVe 1 [2] is a supergiant elliptical galaxy, which is the central, dominant member and brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) of the Ophiuchus Cluster. It lies at a distance of about 411 million light-years away from Earth and is located behind the Zone of Avoidance region in the sky.
Zeta Ophiuchi (ζ Oph, ζ Ophiuchi) is a single [9] star located in the constellation of Ophiuchus. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 2.6, making it the third-brightest star in the constellation. Parallax measurements give an estimated distance of roughly 440 light-years (130 parsecs) from the Earth. [1]
λ Ophiuchi, Latinized as Lambda Ophiuchi, is a triple star system [3] in the equatorial constellation of Ophiuchus. [10] It has the traditional name Marfik / ˈ m ɑːr f ɪ k /, [11] which now applies exclusively to the primary component. [12] The system is visible to the naked eye as a faint point of light with an apparent visual magnitude ...
