Apparent magnitude of Orion stars?

There are 81 stars in the constellation which appear in the Bayer/Flamsteed catalogues. Eight of these are brighter than an apparent magnitude of 3.0 The seven which from the notable hour-glass outline are:Betelgeuse (Alpha Orionis).Rigel (Beta Orionis)Bellatrix (Gamma Orionis),Mintaka (Delta Orionis),Alnilam (Epsilon Orionis),Alnitak (Zeta Orionis) andSaiph (Kappa Orionis).Of course, as with any constellation, there are stars which are so faint that they have not yet been detected and so have not had their magnitudes measured.


Why are the stars Betelgeuse and Rigel also known as alpha and beta Orionis?

It is common for astronomers to identify stars in a constellation with Greek alphabets. This is called the "Bayer designations". Bayer, a German astronomer, designated the stars in a constellation according to brightness, but this is not always the case. Here, Betelgeuse is not as bright as Rigel but it is called Alpha Orionis, rather than Beta Orionis. One reason for this is because 400 years ago, nobody could accurately determine which star was brighter, and it probably seemed that Betelgeuse was the brighter star.
