Its story
49 Orionis shines blue-white at 145 light-years, resting just below the hunter's famous belt. In a region dominated by giants like Rigel and Betelgeuse, this A-type star slips by almost unnoticed, a quiet note within one of the most photographed constellations of the winter sky. Its cold fire crosses distant nebulae before reaching us.
