Rigel, a prominent star in the constellation Orion, rises in the southeast direction. It can usually be seen rising above the horizon in the early evening during winter months in the Northern Hemisphere.
Rigel and Capella are both bright stars, but they have different rising times due to their positions in the sky. If they rise at the same time, it would be a coincidence and not a regular occurrence. It would be a rare and interesting event to witness both stars rising together in the night sky.
