Best Answer

Orion is the most prominent constellation in the sky, so it has lots of prominent stars. Two in particular stand out. They are Rigel and Betelgeuse. Rigel is a very bright star in the bottom right corner, the brightest star in Orion. In the top left is Betelgeuse, also very bright but noticeably different in colour to Rigel, as it is a red giant star.
