However, the three stars that make up Orion's belt (Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka) are actually different colors when observed through a telescope:
* Alnitak (Zeta Orionis): Blue-white
* Alnilam (Epsilon Orionis): Blue-white
* Mintaka (Delta Orionis): Blue-white
The stars appear white to our naked eye because our eyes aren't sensitive enough to pick up the subtle color differences, especially in the night sky.
