RIGEL Rigel, designated β Orionis, is a blue supergiant star in the constellation of Orion, approximately 860 light-years from Earth. Rigel is the brightest and most massive component – and the eponym – of a star system of at least four stars that appear as a single blue-white point of light to the naked eye. Rigel, also called Beta Orionis, one of the brightest stars in the sky, intrinsically as well as in appearance. ... The name Rigel derives from an Arabic term meaning “the left leg of the giant,” referring to the figure of Orion. With such enormous energy, you might be surprised to find that Rigel has only 21 times more mass, and is 79 times the diameter of our sun. Rigel is a blue supergiant star, designated as type B8 Ia.
