Talk:Gamma Virginis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
users of this webpage should note that the ephemeris displayed is erroneous, being derived from the long obsolete orbital computation of Strand 1937. In reality, Gamma is just now, April 2005, appraoching apparent periastron, probably in the next few weeks (May 2005), the most spectacular binary star event of the century for northern hemisphere observers; by 2007-8 all the most interesting action will be past history! For details of the true current state of progress of this 'magnificent phenomenon'(name J.Herschel) see www.hanwellobservatory.org.uk
