description Ophiuchus Overview
Ophiuchus is a large constellation representing a serpent bearer. It is one of the 48 constellations recorded by the ancient astronomer Ptolemy and is also among the 88 constellations recognized by the International Astronomical Union. The constellation lies near the celestial equator, between Scorpius and Sagittarius, and the apparent path of the Sun, the ecliptic, passes through part of it. Ophiuchus is therefore important in both classical constellation history and modern observational astronomy.
