22 Scorpii (i Scorpii) is a single[7] star in the southern zodiac constellation of Scorpius, about one degree from Antares. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.78.[2] The distance to this star is estimated to be around 410 light years, as derived from its annual parallax shift of 7.89±0.24 mas.[1] The star is embedded in, or adjacent to, the diffuse nebulous cloud IC 4605 located in the western regions of the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex.[8]
