Virgo

Virgo east connection Serpens (head) and Libra , lean to the west Leo , Colossus and Corvus , our south neighbor Hydra , our Northern neighbor Bootes and Posterior occlusion .

In addition to the ecliptic line passing through Virgo, the celestial equator also passes through the north-central part of Virgo, so that Virgo is simultaneously covered Celestial equator And the ecliptic line.

From the 18th century BC to the 4th century BC, the autumnal equinox was in Libra, after which it entered the constellation Virgo. This will enter the neighboring Leo around 2440.

althea (Alpha Virgo) is a pair Spectral type It's B1V ^[4] Blue close binary star. Larger of these Primary star The mass is 11.43±1.15 times Solar mass The radius is 7.47±0.54 times Solar radius The luminosity is about 20,500 times Solar luminosity . The entire system is about 250 light years from Earth. Of Kakujuichi Apparent magnitude About 0.98 magnitude, Absolute magnitude With a magnitude of -3.55, they are among the top 20 brightest stars in the night sky. ^[5]

Right hand enforcement Beta Virgo is a star of spectral type F9 V with a mass of 1.25 solar masses, a radius of about 1.68 solar radii, and a luminosity of about 3.57 solar luminosity, located about 35.7 light-years from Earth with an apparent magnitude of about 3.6. ^[6]

Eastern facies (Virgo gamma) is a pair made up of two almost identical stars Main sequence star constituent Binary star The spectral type is F0V ^[7] Both are 1.56 times the mass of the Sun and have a total apparent magnitude of about 2.75.

Ross 128 Located near the right branch (beta Virgo), it is a faint star Red dwarf . It has one planet, Ross 128 b, orbiting it and is thought to be in Goldilocks zone Medium.

in Dongji General (ε Vir) 5° to 10° west The Virgo Galaxy Cluster , which includes Messier catalog Hit the mark M49 (ellipse), M58 (spiral), M59 (ellipse), M60 (ellipse), M61 (spiral), M84 (ellipse), M86 (ellipse), M87 (Ellipse; celebrated Radio source ) and M90 (Spiral).

M87 is The Virgo Galaxy Cluster The largest of galaxy It has an apparent magnitude of 8.6 and is 60 trillion light years from Earth. redshift 0.0035). It is a large radio source, in part because of its electrons Jet stream Centered by the galaxy Supermassive black hole Out of the galaxy. Because this jet is visible at several different wavelengths, it is of great interest to astronomers hoping to observe black holes in a unique galaxy. ^[8] April 10, 2019, from" Event horizon Astronomers with the Event Horizon Telescope project have released images of its central black hole; This is the first direct image of a black hole with a mass of at least 7.2 billion times that of the Sun. ^[9] It is... Milky Way galaxy The most massive black hole in the neighborhood.

M84 It is also a notable object in the Virgo Cluster of galaxies, with an apparent magnitude of 9.1 and also 60 trillion light-years from Earth (redshift 0.0035). By calculating the mass and speed of the material orbiting its center, astronomers speculate that the center is also likely a black hole. ^[8]

M104 is also known as Straw hat galaxy , in Astronomy enthusiast It is very famous because it looks like a straw hat and gets its name. It is a Spiral galaxy It has an apparent magnitude of 8.0 and is 28 million light-years away from Earth, with some brighter ones clustered in the center Old star And the bulge. ^[8]

quasar 3C273, also an object in the constellation Virgo, is the first quasar to be discovered and, with an apparent magnitude of 12.9, is the optically brightest known quasar.

Virgo has several very small ones Meteor shower the radiant . among Theta Virgo meteor shower The maximum time is usually on March 20, ZHR About 1~3; Gamma Virgo meteor shower The maximum time is about April 14 or 15, and the ZHR is also less than 5. ^[10]

In about The 10th century BC, a section of Virgo was called The Furrow, representing the goddess Shala and her ear . althea The Latin name for alpha Virgo is Spica, meaning ear of grain, which is The Mesopotamian plains The main crop. ^[11] The name of Virgo is handed down from ancient times, the Latin name Virgo, abbreviated as Vir, the symbol of Virgo meaning beauty.
