DURING a rocket flight on May 26, 1971 which carried a number of large area thin window proportional counters, a soft X-ray source was observed by Bleeker et al.1 in Scorpio. Photons in the energy range 0.37 keV to 1.9 keV were detected from a position error box of approximately 40 square degrees. This admittedly large error box contains the bright star λ-Sco and it was suggested that this object may be the source of the soft X-ray emission that was detected. It is a B1 V star and exhibits a varying radial velocity with a period of about 5.6 d. It has a visual magnitude of 1.62 and its distance is estimated as 100 pc (ref. 2).
