Asterion at 17°42′ Virgo has an orb of 1°20′

Fixed star Asterion, Beta Canum Venaticorum, is a single star situated in the Hunting Dogs, Canes Venatici constellation. Magnitude 4.25, spectral type G0 V.

Asterion (Ἀστερίων) means Starry in Greek. Chara (χαρά) means Joy in Greek. Chara originally applied to the “southern dog” but it is now the official name for β Canum Venaticorum.

In 2006, astronomer Margaret Turnbull labeled Beta CVn as the top stellar system candidate to search for extraterrestrial life forms. [1] This is because its spectral type G0 V is very similar to the Suns (G2 V).
