Eta Virginis (η Vir / η Virginis) is a Star in the Constellation Virgo . It also has the traditional name '''Zaniah'''. Zaniah is about 204 Light Year s distant from the Sun , and has Apparent Magnitude +3.9 and is of Spectral Type A2IV. Although the star looks single in any telescope lunar Occultation s have shown this star to be a very close Triple Star System consisting of two stars only 0.5 AU apart with a third slightly more distant star. Because Zaniah is near the Ecliptic , it can be Occulted by the Moon and (very rarely) by Planet s. The last occultation by a planet took place on September 27 , 1843 by Venus , which will occult it again on November 19 , 2445 . EXTERNAL LINKS |
