Alnitak, also known as ζ Orionis (Zeta Orionis) or 50 Orionis, is a triple star system located at the eastern end of the Belt of Orion. The star system is approximately 736 light years distant from Earth and over 100,000 times more luminous than the Sun. The supergiant has a mass about 27 times that of the Sun and a diameter 19 times solar. It is the brightest O-class star in the sky, with a luminosity 180,000 times solar.
Alnilam, also known as ε Orionis (Epsilon Orionis) or 46 Orionis, is the middle star of the Orion’s Belt. It is located at a distance of 1,340 light years from Earth. Alnilam may evolve into a red supergiant over the next million years and eventually end its life in a supernova explosion. The star is losing mass around 20 times more rapidly than the Sun as a result of strong stellar winds, possibly reaching up to 2,000 km/s. Alnilam has a radius 30 times that of the Sun and is 375,000 times more luminous.
Mintaka, also known as δ Orionis (Delta Orionis) or 34 Orionis, is the westernmost star of the Orion’s Belt. It is a binary star approximately 916 light years from Earth. It is 90,000 times more luminous and 20 times more massive than the Sun.
In ancient Egypt, the stars of the Orion’s Belt were the symbol of Osiris, but the extent of their importance has only been speculated about. The belt stars are not perfectly aligned, and their alignment matches that of the three pyramids of Giza, while Orion’s orientation to the Milky Way matches the pyramids’ orientation to the river Nile. This has given rise to speculation that the three great pyramids were not just tombs, but also served as the pharaohs’ gateway to heaven.
