Libra is a constellation of the zodiac. Its name is Latin for weighing scales, its symbol is, it is faint, with no first magnitude stars, lies between Virgo to the west and Scorpius to the east. Beta Librae known as Zubeneschamali, is the brightest star in the constellation. Three star systems are known to have planets. Libra was known in Babylonian astronomy as MUL Zibanu, or alternatively as the Claws of the Scorpion; the scales were held sacred to the sun god Shamash, the patron of truth and justice. It was seen as the Scorpion's Claws in ancient Greece. Since these times, Libra has been associated with law and civility. In Arabic zubānā means "scorpion's claws", similarly in other Semitic languages: this resemblance of words may be why the Scorpion's claws became the Scales, it has been suggested that the scales are an allusion to the fact that when the sun entered this part of the ecliptic at the autumnal equinox, the days and nights are equal. Libra's status as the location of the equinox earned the equinox the name "First Point of Libra", though this location ceased to coincide with the constellation in 730 because of the precession of the equinoxes.

In ancient Egypt the three brightest stars of Libra formed a constellation, viewed as a boat. Libra is a constellation not mentioned by Aratus. Libra is mentioned by Manetho and Geminus, included by Ptolemy in his 48 asterisms. Ptolemy catalogued 17 stars, Tycho Brahe 10, Johannes Hevelius 20, it only became a constellation in ancient Rome, when it began to represent the scales held by Astraea, the goddess of justice, associated with Virgo in the Greek mythology. Libra is bordered by the head of Serpens to the north, Virgo to the northwest, Hydra to the southwest, the corner of Centaurus to the southwest, Lupus to the south, Scorpius to the east and Ophiuchus to the northeast. Covering 538.1 square degrees and 1.304% of the night sky, it ranks 29th of the 88 constellations in size. The three-letter abbreviation for the constellation, as adopted by the International Astronomical Union in 1922, is "Lib"; the official constellation boundaries, as set by Eugène Delporte in 1930, are defined by a polygon of 12 segments.

In the equatorial coordinate system, the right ascension coordinates of these borders lie between 14h 22m 08.08s and 16h 02m 17.23s, while the declination coordinates are between −0.47° and −30.00°. The whole constellation is visible to observers south of latitude 60°N. Overall, there are 83 stars within the constellation's borders brighter than or equal to apparent magnitude 6.5. The brightest stars in Libra form a quadrangle. Traditionally and Beta Librae are considered to represent the scales' balance beam, while Gamma and Sigma are the weighing pans. Alpha Librae, called Zubenelgenubi, is a multiple star system divisible into two stars when seen through binoculars, The primary is a blue-white star of magnitude 2.7 and the secondary is a white star of magnitude 5.2 and spectral type F3V, 74.9 ± 0.7 light-years from Earth. Its traditional name means "the southern claw". Zubeneschamali is the corresponding "northern claw" to Zubenelgenubi; the brightest star in Libra, it is a green-tinged star of 160 light-years from Earth.

Gamma Librae is called Zubenelakrab, which means "the scorpion's claw", completing the suite of names referring to Libra's archaic status. It is an orange giant of 152 light-years from Earth. Iota Librae is a complex multiple star, 377 light-years from Earth, with both optical and true binary components; the primary appears as a blue-white star of magnitude 4.5. The secondary, visible in small telescopes as a star of magnitude 9.4, is a binary with two components, magnitudes 10 and 11. There is an optical companion to Iota Librae. Mu Librae is a binary star divisible in medium-aperture amateur telescopes, 235 light-years from Earth; the primary is of magnitude 5.7 and the secondary is of magnitude 6.8. Delta Librae is an Algol-type eclipsing 304 lightyears from Earth, it has a period of 8 hours. FX Librae, designated 48 Librae, is a shell star of magnitude 4.9. Shell stars, like Pleione and Gamma Cassiopeiae, are blue supergiants with irregular variations caused by their abnormally high speed of rotation.

This ejects gas from the star's equator. Sigma Librae was known as Gamma Scorpii despite being well inside the boundaries of Libra, it was not redesignated as Sigma Librae until 1851 by Benjamin A. Gould. Libra is home to the Gliese 581 planetary system, which consists of the star Gliese 581, three confirmed planets, two unconfirmed planets. Both Gliese 581d, Gliese 581g are debatably the most promising candidates for life, although Gliese 581g's existences has been disputed and has not been confirmed or agreed on in the scientific community. Gliese 581c is considered to be the first Earth-like extrasolar planet to be found within its parent star's habitable zone. Gliese 581e is the smallest mass exoplanet orbiting a normal star found to date All of these exoplanets are of significance for establishing the likelihood of life outside of the Solar System; the family of candidate habitable planets was extended in late September 2010 to include exoplanets around red dwarf stars because of Gliese 581g, a tidally locke
