The "Amazon" star, Bellatrix, has a surface temperature around 40,000*F and has a mass ten times greater than that of our sun!
A distance of one million parsecs (approximately 3,262,000 light-years) is commonly denoted by the megaparsec(Mpc).
The distance to a star can be calculated by taking the reciprocal of its parallax angle in arcseconds. In this case, if the parallax is 2 arcseconds, the distance in parsecs would be 1 divided by 2, which equals 0.5 parsecs.
The distance to the star can be calculated using the parallax angle (in arcseconds) and the formula: distance (in parsecs) = 1 / parallax angle (in arcseconds). Given a parallax of 0.75 arcseconds, the star is approximately 1.33 parsecs away. Converting parsecs to light years (1 parsec ≈ 3.26 light years), the star is about 4.34 light years away.
The reciprocal - in other words, 1 / 0.232.
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.
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."
30.659 parsecs
Gamma Orionis (Bellatrix) is the third brightest star in the constellation Orion.It is about 5.7 times larger than our SunSee related link for a pictorial comparison. (Bellatrix is the blue star, and the Sun is in the centre)
About 135 parsecs.
