Orion's Belt & Sword Credit: Giuseppe Donatiello Orion's Belt or the Belt of Orion, also known as the Three Kings or Three Sisters, is an asterism and it consists of the three bright stars Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka. Alnitak (ζ Orionis) is a triple star system at the eastern end of Orion's belt and is 1,260 light-years from the Earth. Alnilam (ε Orionis) is a supergiant, approximately 2,000 light-years away from Earth and magnitude 1.70. Mintaka (δ Orionis) is 1,200 light-years away and shines with magnitude 2.21. Mintaka is 90,000 times more luminous than the Sun. Mintaka is a double star. The Horsehead Nebula (also known as Barnard 33) is located just to the south of Alnitak. Orion's Sword is a compact asterism in the constellation Orion. It comprises three stars (42 Orionis, Theta Orionis, and Iota Orionis) and M42, the Orion Nebula. Given the scientific significance of M42, Orion's Sword is a popular spot for stellar and protostellar studies. Composition with images obtained in the 2021/24 season using 300mm and 200mm vintage telephoto lenses. Avalon M-zero Obs and EQ5 mounts. Above and near the Orion Nebula there are traces of a number of geostationary satellites, made less evident by the average images. Processed with Luminar 4-AI |
