Its story

44 Virginis is a white A-type star in Virgo, the figure linked in the zodiac to the harvest and to the goddess Astraea. It lies 254 light-years away and vibrates with the cold clarity of A-stars well settled on the main sequence. Its light shares the sky with Spica and with the vast region of the Virgo cluster, that front of galaxies stretching far behind the curtain of local stars.
