Question

Which constellation contains the supergiant star Betelgeuse?

Answer 1

Red Betelgeuse, also known as Alpha Orionis, is the ninth-brightest star in the night sky and second-brightest in the constellation of Orion.

Answer 2

The red supergiant marks one of Orion's shoulders, while the hot, bright giant Bellatrix, Gamma Orionis, marks the other. Betelgeuse is a variable star and, as its brightness changes, the star has been known to outshine the constellation's brightest star, the blue supergiant Rigel, Beta Orionis
