How far away is the star shaula from the earth?

Shaula, also known as Lambda Scorpii, is located approximately 700 light-years away from Earth. It is a binary star system in the constellation Scorpius and is known for its bright appearance in the night sky. The distance of 700 light-years means that the light we see from Shaula today actually left the star around the time of the early Middle Ages on Earth.
