Orion's Myth
Orion is a character from Greek mythology, a giant hunter who was placed in the stars by Zeus upon his death. In the night sky Orion was perceived by ancient Greeks as defending himself against the nearby constellation of Taurus the bull. In one version of the myth Orion was the son of Poseidon, the Greek God of the sea, from whom he inherited an ability to walk on water. Orion walked across the sea to the island of Chios where he attacked the daughter of the island ruler in a drunken rage. Orion was blinded by the ruler in an act of retaliation but was later healed by Helios, the Greek personification of the sun. Orion later became arrogant with his great hunting abilities and vowed to kill every creature on the planet. The Goddess of the Earth, Gaia, responded by sending a giant scorpion to destroy him. In the ensuing battle Orion was killed and both he and the scorpion were placed amongst the stars.
About the star
Betelgeuse is the second brightest star in Orion and the eighth brightest star in the sky. It is a red supergiant, belonging to the spectral class M2lab. The suffix -ab indicates that Betelgeuse is classified as an intermediate luminous supergiant, one not as bright as others such as Deneb in the constellation Cygnus. Some recent findings, however, suggest that the star emits more light than 100,000 Suns, which would in fact make it more luminous than most stars in its class, so the classification is likely outdated.
The star has an apparent magnitude of 0.42 and is approximately 643 light years distant. Betelgeuse is one of the most luminous stars known. It has an absolute magnitude of -6.05.
Betelgeuse, or Alpha Orionis, is also one of the largest stars known, with an apparent diameter between 0.043 and 0.056 arc seconds. It is difficult to get an accurate measurement because the star appears to change shape from time to time and, as a result of a huge mass loss, it has a large envelope surrounding it.
Alpha Orionis is classified as a semi-regular variable star. Its apparent magnitude varies from 0.2 to 1.2, which means that Betelgeuse occasionally outshines its bright neighbour Rigel. This, however, only happens very rarely. The star's variation in brightness was first noted by Sir John Herschel in his Outlines of Astronomy in 1836.
Betelgeuse is believed to be about 10 million years old, which is not much for a red supergiant, but the star is thought to have evolved very rapidly because of its enormous mass. It will likely end its life as a supernova in the next million years. When it does, it will be easy to find in the sky, not just at night, but also in broad daylight. At its current distance from the solar system, the supernova would shine brighter than the Moon and be the brightest ever recorded supernova in history.
The origin of the name Betelgeuse is not entirely certain. The last part, -elgeuse, is derived from the Arabic name for the constellation, al-Jauzā', which was a feminine name from old Arabian legends and can be roughly translated as "the middle one." The most widely accepted explanation is that the name is a corruption of the Arabic phrase Yad al-Jauzā' , or the Hand of al-Jauzā', which is to say, the hand of Orion, which became Betelegeuse through a mistransliteration into medieval Latin, with the first Arabic letter standing for y being mistaken for the one for b, which led to the name Bait al-Jauzā', or "the house of Orion" during the Renaissance. This eventually led to the star's modern name, Betelgeuse.
Betelgeuse is part of two prominent winter asterisms: the Winter Triangle and the Winter Hexagon.
The other two stars forming the Winter Triangle, also known as the Great Southern Triangle, are Sirius and Procyon, the brightest stars in the constellations Canis Major and Canis Minor respectively.
The same stars are also part of the Winter Hexagon, along with Rigel, Aldebaran in the constellation Taurus, Capella in Auriga, and Pollux and Castor in Gemini.
