Chi
Its story
Chi Virginis is an orange giant lying nearly three hundred light-years away, on the back of the celestial maiden. Behind its warm hue hides a system with a massive substellar companion, uncovered through extremely precise radial velocity measurements. It is one of those stars that seem dim to the naked eye yet conceal, in the data, the elegance of an orbiting world.
