[7] The large mass of this star make it a supernova progenitor, The outer atmosphere has an effective temperature of 21,700 K It is some 20 million years old [6] and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 58 km/s.

In Tahiti, a traditional story is told of a brother and sister, named Pipiri and Rehua, who flee their parents into the sky and become stars.

[citation needed] (In a similar version of the story told in the Cook Islands, they become Omega1 and Omega2 Scorpii).
