Epsilon Scorpii (ε Sco ε Scorpii) is a star in the southern zodiac constellation of Scorpius. Patrick Moore introduced the name Wei but this seems to be a misreading; Wěi (尾) meaning the Tail was originally the name of a Chinese asterism or Xiù comprising the stars ε μ1-2 ζ1-2 η θ ι κ υ and λ Scorpii. This star has an apparent visual magnitude of +2.3 making it the fifth brightest member of the constellation.
