Its story

65 Virginis is an orange K-type giant about 1,245 light-years away, in the vast constellation of the Virgin —which in the spring sky holds the densest known concentration of galaxies in the nearby cosmos, the Virgo Cluster, with its thousands of members—. Light it emitted around the year 781 crossed the entire Middle Ages before touching Earth. Its warm hue places it in an advanced stage of stellar evolution.
