	Porrima (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Porrima is somewhat prominent these days because it appears to be leading Jupiter across the sky.
		Porrima (Gamma Virginis) is a double star though it may be difficult to resolve them because they are getting close together from our viewpoint.
		So Porrima is a great location to start viewing.

		Porrima (Gamma Virginis) falls in the latter category.
		But if the atmosphere is steady and your telescope has good optics, don’t be afraid to push it for objects like bright double stars.
		By the year 2015 or so, Porrima will again be one of the best double stars in the whole sky, still close but able to be split by most scopes.

	Porrima.
		The Latins called this Porrima, or Antevorta, sometimes Postvorta, names of two ancient goddesses of prophecy, sisters and assistants of Carmenta or Carmentis [Latin carmen = "prophesy", "incantation"], worshiped and at times invoked by their women.
		Porrima was known as Prorsa and Prosa by Aulus Gellius of our 2d century.
		Pierre Grimal (Diictionary of Classical Mythology) says Carmenta was regarded as a divinity of procreation; she was invoked by two names, Prorsa (head first) and Postversa (feet first), the two positions in which a child can be born].

	33 Doubles Observing Projects: Gamma Virginis
		I could not be certain of anything at either 150X (8mm)or 200X(12mm + barlow), so I barlowed the 8mm, but the seeing would not support the 300X for anything but very brief moments - not long enough to examine the star carefully.
		At 154X you could begin to note that it was a double with the view changing from a single star to a figure 8 which got my hopes up.

		A little bit of wind occurred throughout this observing session but it had near zero effect on the images I was seeing through the scope.
		At ~1" of arc separation, I knew my "success" would be limited due to the 3"ers resolution limit but having a double with such equal components(in magnitude) I figured if I could see any evidence of duplicity, it would reaffirm my belief that this scopes optics are top notch.

		There is one glowing exception, at least for this "lifetime", and that is Gamma Virginis, known affectionately by the name Porrima.
		It was about 170 years ago that it's unusual orbit was first detected and raised some excitement.
		2005 will see the two stars of Porrima return to the same region they inhabited in 1834 and best estimates put the time of this "go around" in late May. The separation will then be around.3 arcseconds, well beyond the ability of any of my telescopes to slpit it.

		Not only does Beta not really "own" its own proper name, it does not even fulfill the expectation of its "beta-hood" to be the second brightest star.
		At the bright end of fourth magnitude (3.61), it ranks fifth in the constellation behind Spica (Alpha), Porrima (Gamma, a double star), Vindemiatrix (Epsilon), Delta, even Zeta Vir.
		Zavijava is also not terribly radiant; its modest apparent brightness (enough to be a prominent part of its constellation and the "awwa") owes itself to closeness, the star lying only 36 light years away.

	View moon, Jupiter in southwest sky \| Arizona Daily Star ®
		A half-moon looks like half a circle, but it's also commonly known as a quarter-moon because it has completed one quarter of an orbit around the Earth, and one quarter of its surface is visible from Earth.
		Spica and Porrima are the two brightest stars in the constellation Virgo, which has been hosting the planet Jupiter this summer.
		Keen eyes and the right southwest vantage may allow you to make out one to four stars in the dim constellation Corvus, the Crow, which currently sits between Jupiter and Spica about halfway between those objects and the horizon.

		All month long the giant planet lies within less than two degrees of the third-magnitude star Porrima, named in honor of the Roman goddess of prophecy, in the constellation Virgo, the virgin.
		In 1718 two English astronomers, James Bradley and James Pound, discovered that Porrima is actually two stars, each shining at magnitude 3.9—making Porrima one of the earliest double stars to be discovered with a telescope.
