Its story
Theta Virginis shines from Virgo at 316 light-years, in a sky region where the galaxies of the Virgo Cluster crowd in as a cosmological backdrop. A white A-type star, it is a multiple system whose components have been resolved through both interferometry and visual observation. The light we see today set out when, in Europe, the very first telescopes were being tried.
