Rigel it’s quite easy to find and look at due to its location at Orion. I think that the Orion’s Belt is what makes it so easy to find as being a pretty peculiar group of stars.

For me, I love the double meaning of “Keep looking up”…every time I go outside, I immediately look up to see what’s out, but is also a state of mind.

To easily identify Rigel: in the Orion constellation, spot Betelgeuse, which is easy to recognise because it’s bright and reddish; then spot the Orion’s belt, the three stars in the middle; finally, opposite Betelgeuse, you have Rigel.

Im Curious about seasonal objects in the sky, especially since im in Hawaii. Orion is visible year round, i guess cuz im so close to the equator. Polaris is hidden behind the mountain year round and the entire little Dipper is maybe 3 or 4 fists above the horizon if im on the north shore. I've never thought about seasonality for space objects.

And when, / Above, there / Beyond, farther than over beyond / Farther than Betelgeuse's veil / After Altair's country / On God's brain / In a last impetus / Freed from the spirit (...) "

As a point of clarity, only Rigel-A is a super giant blue star which will one day go to a supernova phase. The three remaining stars are main sequence stars which will progress to a different end of life right?

Yes. Those blue main sequence stars are not big enough to go supernova. They will most likely turn into giant stars, then planetary nebulae, then white dwarfs.

If the universe is expanding rapidly, how is it possible for all the constellations to remain the same?
@brenspin5 ай бұрын
Space itself is expanding. The farther apart objects are the more space there is to expand between them leading to higher rates of motion. While the reasonably bright, notable stars we can see with our naked eyes range from about 5 to a few thousand lightyears distant, these distances are tiny relative to the vastness of the universe. The relative positions of stars in the sky/shape of constellations does change over time, but not enough to notice in a few human lifetimes. Simply put, all the stars we can see in the night sky are from our general vicinity of our very large Milky Way galaxy. Yet the Milky Way is merely an incredibly tiny speck in the universe.

If Rigel has depleted its H & He, why is it still White-Blue and not Orange like Betelgeuse? 🤔✨

It’s because of its temperature. Rigel is much hotter at 12000 Kelvin, giving it a predominantly white color. Betelgeuse is cooler at 3600 Kelvin making it more reddish in color.
