The "Amazon" star, Bellatrix, has a surface temperature around 40,000*F and has a mass ten times greater than that of our sun!
Visual Magnitude: 1.64
Absolute Magnitude: -2.73
Bellatrix is estimated to be 470 light years from the earth.
That's about 144.2 parsecs. (rounded)
The reciprocal - in other words, 1 / 0.232.
A distance of one million parsecs (approximately 3,262,000 light-years) is commonly denoted by the megaparsec(Mpc).
The reciprocal of the 2 - that is, 1/2 or 0.5.
That means that by definition, the star is at the standard distance of 10 parsecs.That means that by definition, the star is at the standard distance of 10 parsecs.That means that by definition, the star is at the standard distance of 10 parsecs.That means that by definition, the star is at the standard distance of 10 parsecs.
Energy output, as absolute brightness (magnitude) is taken at a standard distance of 10 parsecs.
Bellatrix is a star
The star Bellatrix, in Orion, is about 250 light years away from us. When we see it in our sky, we are not seeing it as it appears now, but actually how it appeared around the same time King George III of England issued his "Proclamation of 1763."
