50 Virginia (play /v r d nj /) is a large, very dark main belt asteroid. It was discovered by James Ferguson on October 4, 1857 from the United States Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C.. Robert Luther discovered it independently on October 19 from Düsseldorf, and his discovery was announced first. The reason for Virginia's name is not known; it may be named after Verginia, the Roman noblewoman slain by her father, but it may alternatively have been named after the American state of Virginia, which is contiguous with Washington.
