Theta Librae is a giant star in the southern zodiac constellation of Libra. It is located about 163 light-years (50 parsecs) from the Earth and has an estimated mass about 84% greater than the Sun. This star is radiating about 35[6] times the luminosity of the Sun from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of about 4,700 K.[7]
