SUMMARY:The Stars of Orion’s Belt (evening)
DESCRIPTION:Orion’s three belt stars are bright enough to tolerate tonight’s moonlight. They may look similar\, but they are quite different\, under closer inspection. The left-most (easterly) of the three\, magnitude 1.85 Alnitak (Zeta Orionis) is bluer. In a telescope\, Alnitak (Arabic for “the Girdle”) is revealed to be a very tight magnitude 1.85 double star. At 1\,976 light-years from our sun\, the middle star\, Alnilam (Epsilon Orionis) is more than twice as far away as the other two. At the right-hand (western) end of the row\, magnitude 2.4 Mintaka (Delta Orionis) is a more widely spaced double star. Using binoculars (orange circle) look for a large\, upright\, S-shaped asterism of dim stars in the space between Alnilam and Mintaka. The medium-bright star sitting less than a finger’s width below (or 0.8 degrees southwest of) Alnitak is Sigma Orionis\, a beautiful little grouping of ten or more stars.
