You're likely referring to the constellation Scorpius, not a single star. Scorpius is a constellation, meaning it's a pattern of stars that appear close together from Earth.

However, Scorpius does contain a very bright star called Antares, which is a red supergiant star.

Here's a breakdown:

* Scorpius: A constellation in the Southern Hemisphere, known for its distinctive "S" shape.

* Antares: The brightest star in Scorpius, and one of the brightest stars in the night sky. It's classified as a red supergiant, meaning it's a large, cool, and very luminous star.
