![008-Antares-Five [008] Antares 5–This illustration by Don Dixon depicts a hypothetical planetary landscape within the Antares (Alpha Scorpii) binary system. A massive red supergiant, Antares A, dominates the horizon, its low-temperature photosphere casting a deep crimson light over a rugged, mountainous terrain and a reflective body of liquid. High in the darkened sky, the companion star Antares B appears as a brilliant blue-white point source, providing a stark color temperature contrast and indicating its status as a hot, B-type main-sequence star.
