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]

22 Scorpii is a B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B3 V. [3] It is ten [5] million years old and has a high rate of spin with a projected rotational velocity of 169 km/s. [2] The star has about six [5] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 335 [4] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 19,600  K. [2]
