Mu Scorpii
The Bayer designation Mu Scorpii (μ Sco, μ Scorpii) is shared by two star systems, in the constellation Scorpius:
- μ¹ Scorpii (aka Xamidimura)
- μ² Scorpii (aka Pipirima)
They are separated by 0.1° in the sky.
They are separated too by the different asterism in Chinese astronomy. μ¹ Scorpii was member of asterism 尾 (Wěi), Tail and μ² Scorpii was stand alone in asterism 神宮 (Shéngōng), Changing Room (of the temple). Both of asterisms are part of the Tail mansion.[1]
In Polynesian mythology, Xamidimura and Pipirima were Piri-ere-ua (meaning "The Inseparable One"), two children which were fleeing their wicked parents.[2]
