Rasalhague – de ster met de slang
Rasalhague, een ster die zo snel draait dat hij zichzelf platdrukt, heeft een fascinerende verbinding met de mythologie van de geneeskunde.

De ster van Barnard
Het Alpha Centauri-systeem vertegenwoordigt de dichtstbijzijnde stellaire buur van de Zon, op een afstand van iets meer dan 4 miljard jaar. De ster van Barnard is slechts iets verder weg, op ongeveer 6 lichtjaar. De nabijheid heeft er voor gezorgd dat de ster van Barnard uitgebreid is bestudeerd.

This appears to be a case where a loanword was adopted specifically to take advantage of a metonymic semantic shift.

If you are Sagittarius like me, you may actually be Ophiuchus, the snake handler, according to the current sun's path across the celestial sphere.

NGC 6572 Blue Racquetball Nebula
Magnitude 8.1 planetary nebula located in the constellation Ophiuchus. It is a young planetary nebula and only began to shed its gases a few thousand years ago. Because of this, the material is still quite concentrated, which explains the nebula's abnormal brightness.

IC 4665
Magnitude 4.2 open cluster located 1,400 light-years away in the constellation Ophiuchus. It was discovered by Philippe Loys de Chéseaux in 1745. It is one of the brightest clusters not to be cataloged by Charles Messier or William Herschel, probably because it is so loose and coarse.

M10
Magnitude 6.6 globular cluster located 14,300 light-years away in the constellation Ophiuchus. The cluster is currently located about 16,000 light-years from the Galactic Center. It completes an orbit around the Milky Way galaxy about every 140 million years, during which it crosses the plane of the galactic disk every 53 million years.
