What distance from the earth is zubenelsenubi?

Zubenelgenubi (aka Alpha Librae or in older texts Kiffa Australis or Lanx Australis) is about 77 light years.

There are 83 stars within the constellation, which have an apparent magnitude of 6.5 of brighter. The three brightest stars are:Beta Librae = Zubeneschamali Alpha Librae = Zubenelgenubi Gamma Librae = Zubenelakrab.
What stars are in the Libra star constellation?
The 4 brightest stars are: α Librae, Zubenelgenubi ("southern claw"), a visual binary; β Librae, Zubeneschamali ("northern claw"); γ Librae, Zubenelakrab ("scorpion's claw"); σ Librae, Brachium, an eclipsing variable. The ones that have bayer designations are: α (Zubenelgenubi) • β (Zubeneschamali) • γ (Zuben Elakrab) • δ (Zuben Elakribi) • ε • ζ¹ • ζ³ • ζ4 • η • θ • ι¹ • ι² • κ • λ • μ • ν • ξ¹ • ξ² • ο • σ (Brachium, γ Sco) • τ • υ The stars with flamsteed numbers are: (e.g. 51 Pegasi, but without the Pegasi) 2 • 3 • 4 • 5 • 7 (μ) • 8 (α¹, Zubenelgenubi) • 9 (α², Zubenelgenubi) • 10 • 11 • 12 • 13 (ξ¹) • 15 (ξ²) • 16 • 17 • 18 • 19 (δ, Zuben Elakribi) • 20 (σ, Brachium) • 21 (ν) • 22 • 23 • 24 (ι¹) • 25 (ι²) • 26 • 27 (β, Zubeneschamali) • 28 • 29 (ο) • 30 • 31 (ε) • 32 (ζ¹) • 33 • 34 (ζ³) • 35 (ζ4) • 36 • 37 • 38 (γ, Zuben Elakrab) • 39 (υ) • 40 (τ) • 41 • 42 • 43 (κ) • 44 (η) • 45 (λ) • 46 (θ) • 47 • 48 • 49 • 50 Nearby stars are: 33 G.

The family of candidate habitable planets was extended in late September 2010 to include Gliese 581 g, a tidally locked planet in the middle of the habitable zone, and currently the most likely discovered exoplanet to be capable of supporting life.
Name three named stars?
There are thousands of "named" stars. Many of the star names that we use today come from Arabic, because the early Greek and Babylonian star charts were translated into Arabic during the European "Dark Ages", and these are the only ancient records that remain.I used to teach celestial navigation; the art of determining your position by using a sextant to measure the elevation of the stars above the horizon. In celestial navigation, there are 58 specific stars used, chosen to be evenly distributed around the sky and all fairly bright.Three stars? OK.I like Polaris, because it sits almost directly above the North Pole. It is the most useful star in the sky.Betelgeuse and Sirius are the two brightest stars in the constellation Orion, which is the first constellation that I learned to recognize when I was a child.One more; the star Zubenelgenubi, because I think it's a neat name.
What are the names of Libras stars?
Libra's brightest star, second-magnitude Alpha Librae, is called Zubenelgenubi from the Arabic meaning 'the southern claw', a reminder of the Greek identification of this constellation with the claws of the scorpion. Beta Librae is Zubeneschamali, 'the northern claw'. Transit Date of principal star: 5 May Libra means "The Scales" or "Balance", so named because when the zodiac was still in its infancy, some four thousand years ago, the sun passed through this constellation at the autumnal equinox (21 September). At the two equinoxes (Spring and Autumn) the hours of daylight and darkness are equal. As a symbol for equality, the constellation came to represent Justice in several middle Eastern cultures. However, the Greeks had a different perspective; at one time Scorpius, which lies just to the east, was much larger, and the stars that make up Libra were then known as the Claws of the Scorpion. Eventually, however, these stars of Libra came to represent the Golden Chariot of Pluto.
What is some names of the stars that make up the constellation Virgo?
Spica, Porrima, and Vindemiatrix.
