Ophiuchus (/ ˌ ɒ f i ˈ juː k ə s /) is a large constellation straddling the celestial equator. Its name comes from the Ancient Greek ὀφιοῦχος ( ophioûkhos ), meaning "serpent-bearer", and it is commonly represented as a man grasping a snake.
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.
Gaia BH1 (Gaia DR3 4373465352415301632) is a binary system consisting of a G-type main-sequence star and a likely stellar-mass black hole, located about 1,560 light-years (478 pc) away from the Solar System in the constellation of Ophiuchus. [4]
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]

Tau Ophiuchi (τ Oph) is a multiple star in the constellation Ophiuchus, approximately 167 light years away based on parallax. [1] Its two main components are two yellow-white main sequence stars, A, of magnitude 5.24 and class F2V, and B, of magnitude 5.94 and class F5V, [2] orbiting each other with a period of 257 years and eccentricity around 0.77.

72 Ophiuchi is a binary star [3] system in the equatorial constellation of Ophiuchus.It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, white-hued point of light with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 3.73. [2]
Sigma Ophiuchi, Latinized from σ Ophiuchi, is a single, [11] orange-hued star in the equatorial constellation Ophiuchus. Its apparent visual magnitude is 4.31, [2] which is bright enough to be faintly visible to the naked eye. The annual parallax shift of 3.62 mas as seen from Earth provides a distance estimate of roughly 900 light years.
