  • Orion's Brightest Stars: Rigel & Betelgeuse - A Guide
    The two brightest stars in the constellation Orion are:

    * Rigel (β Orionis): This blue supergiant is the seventh brightest star in the night sky.

    * Betelgeuse (α Orionis): This red supergiant is the ninth brightest star in the night sky.

    While Betelgeuse is designated as "alpha" (α), Rigel is actually slightly brighter.
