Nu Scorpii (ν Scorpii, abbreviated Nu Sco, ν Sco) is a multiple star system in the constellation of Scorpius. It is most likely a septuple star system,[5] consisting of two close groups (designated Nu Scorpii AB and CD) that are separated by 41 arcseconds.[5] Based on parallax measurements,[7] it is approximately 470 light-years from the Sun.

The component Nu Scorpii Aa is formally named Jabbah /ˈdʒæbə/.[11] (Contrast the similar-sounding Dschubba, Delta Scorpii.)
