Pi Orionis
Pi Orionis (π Ori, π Orionis) is a group of fairly widely scattered stars in the constellation Orion that constitute the asterism Orion's Shield or Orion's Bow.astrofoto.org"Orion: The Hunter", Roland B.

Orion's Sword
Orion's Sword is a compact asterism in the constellation Orion. It comprises three stars (42 Orionis, Theta Orionis, and Iota Orionis) and M42, the Orion Nebula, which together are thought to resemble a sword or its scabbard. This group is south of the prominent asterism, Orion's Belt. Fables and old beliefs are in Europe dominated or widely influenced by those of the Greco-Roman narratives. Beyond Europe this grouping is quite widely referenced as a weapon just as the majority of cultures perceived Orion's standout asymmetrical "hourglass" of seven very bright stars as a human. Components Orion Nebula The Orion Nebula consists of one of the nearest (thus in the Milky Way Galaxy), massive molecular clouds (30 - 40 light years in diameter) about 1,300 light years from the solar system. This makes the nebula potentially the closest HII region to Earth, a mass of hydrogen that has been ionized by nearby, hot, young stars. Regions like this are called stellar nurseries ...

Orion's Belt
Orion's Belt or the Belt of Orion, also known as the Three Kings or Three Sisters, is an asterism in the constellation Orion. It consists of the three bright stars Alnitak Alnitak is a triple star system in the constellation of Orion. It has the designations ζ Orionis, which is Latinised to Zeta Orionis and abbreviated Zeta Ori or ζ Ori, and 50 Orionis, abbreviated 50 Ori. The system is located at a ..., Alnilam and Mintaka. Looking for Orion's Belt is the easiest way to locate Orion in the night sky. The stars are more or less evenly spaced in a nearly straight line, and so can be visualized as the belt (clothing), belt of Orion (mythology), the eponymous hunter's clothing. They are best viewed in the early night sky during the Northern Winter/Southern Summer, in particular, the month of January at around 9:00 pm. Component stars The names of the three stars come from Arabic. () means "pearl#Pearls in jewelry, string of pearls" or is related to the wo ...

Pi6 Orionis
Pi6 Orionis (π6 Ori, π6 Orionis) is a solitary star in the eastern part of the constellation Orion. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.469. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 3.45 mas, it is around 950 light-years from the Sun. At that distance, the visual magnitude of the star is reduced by an interstellar absorption factor of 0.52. This is an evolved K-type giant star on the horizontal branch, with a stellar classification of K0/1 III. It is a suspected variable star with a measured variation between 4.45 and 4.49 in visual magnitude. Pi6 Orionis has over four times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to around 88 times the Sun's radius. Over the course of its life span, the star has shed around solar mass. With an effective temperature of in its outer atmosphere it is radiating roughly 2,200 times the solar luminosity. References {{DEFAULTSORT:Pi6 Orionis Suspected variables K-type giants Orion ( ...

Pi5 Orionis
Pi5 Orionis (π5 Ori, π5 Orionis) is a binary star system in the constellation Orion. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 3.69, which is bright enough to be visible to the naked eye on a clear night. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 2.43 mas, it is around 1,300 light-years distant from the Sun. This is a single-lined spectroscopic binary star system in a circular orbit with an orbital period of 3.7005 days. It is an ellipsoidal variable, which means the orbit is sufficiently close that the shapes of the components are being distorted by their mutual gravitation. This is causing the visual magnitude of the system to vary regularly by 0m.05 over the course of each orbit, as the orientation of the stars change with respect to the Earth. Detailed analysis of the light curve suggests that the primary star is also pulsating and is probably a Slowly pulsating B-type star. The primary component is a B-type giant star with a stellar classification ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pi4 Orionis
Pi4 Orionis (π4 Ori, π4 Orionis) is a binary star system in the western part of the Orion constellation. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 3.7. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 3.1 mass, it is located roughly 1,050 light-years from the Sun. This is a spectroscopic binary star system with an orbital period of 9.5 days and an eccentricity of 0.03. The primary component is a B-type star with a stellar classification of B2 III. The stellar spectrum of π4 Ori A shows a strong depletion of the element boron. It has nearly 11 times the mass of the Sun and nine times the Sun's radius. The star is 15.4 million years old and has a projected rotational velocity of 38 km/s. It shines with 19,726 times the solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature The effective temperature of a body such as a star or planet is the temperature of a black body that would emit the same total amount ...

Pi2 Orionis
Pi2 Orionis (π2 Ori, π2 Orionis) is the Bayer designation for a solitary star in the equatorial constellation of Orion. Although the ''Bright Star Catalogue'' lists this as a spectroscopic binary star system, this does not appear to be the case. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.35. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 14.53 mas, it is located roughly 224 light-years away from the Sun. This is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A1 Vn, where the 'n' indicates broad absorption lines due to rotation. It is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 261.4 km/s. This is giving the star an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge that is 13% larger than the polar radius. It is shining with 70 times the solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature The effective temperature of a body such as a star or planet is the temperature of a black body that would ...

Map Pointer
A map is a symbolic depiction emphasizing relationships between elements of some space, such as objects, regions, or themes. Many maps are static, fixed to paper or some other durable medium, while others are dynamic or interactive. Although most commonly used to depict geography, maps may represent any space, real or fictional, without regard to context or scale, such as in brain mapping, DNA mapping, or computer network topology mapping. The space being mapped may be two dimensional, such as the surface of the earth, three dimensional, such as the interior of the earth, or even more abstract spaces of any dimension, such as arise in modeling phenomena having many independent variables. Although the earliest maps known are of the heavens, geographic maps of territory have a very long tradition and exist from ancient times. The word "map" comes from the , wherein ''mappa'' meant 'napkin' or 'cloth' and ''mundi'' 'the world'. Thus, "map" became a shortened term referring to ...

Pi1 Orionis
Pi1 Orionis (π1 Ori, π1 Orionis) is a star in the equatorial constellation of Orion. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.74. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 28.04 mas, it is located about 116 light-years from the Sun. This is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A3 Va. It is a Lambda Boötis star, which means the spectrum shows lower-than-expected abundances for heavier elements. Pi1 Orionis is a relatively young star, just 100 million years old, and is spinning fairly rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 120 km/s. It has nearly double the mass of the Sun and 167% of the Sun's radius. The star radiates 16.6 times the solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of .
