Biography
alpha Virginis
The brightest Star in the Virgo constellation. One of the twenty brightest Stars in our sky.
Quote:
Located some 262 light-years from Earth, Spica looks like a single Star. However, it’s at least two Stars. Both are larger and hotter than our Sun, and they’re separated by only 11 million miles (less than 18 million km), orbiting their common center of gravity in only four days. That’s in contrast to 93.3 million miles (150 million km) for Earth’s distance from our Sun, and one year for the length of Earth’s orbit.
The two Stars in the Spica system are individually indistinguishable from a single point of light, even with a telescope. The dual nature of this Star was revealed only by analysis of its light with a spectroscope.
The two Stars are so close, and they orbit so quickly around each other, that their mutual gravity distorts each Star into an egg shape. It’s thought that the pointed ends of these egg-shaped Stars face each other as they whirl around. Slight magnitude variations may be evidence for such a distortion. The magnitude changes could be the result of the Stars showing more or less surface area as they move through different orientations in their orbits.
The light from these two Stars, taken together, is on average more than 2,200 times brighter than the Sun’s light. Their diameters are estimated to be 7.8 and 4 times the Sun’s diameter.

Spica in history and culture
The name "Spica" derives from a Latin phrase saying that Virgo is holding an "ear of grain" or "ear of wheat." It also was noted and named in other ancient cultures, such as Arabic, Chinese and Hindu. Legend commonly connects Virgo to Dice, the Greek goddess of justice, and Persephone, the daughter of Demeter, the harvest goddess.
