The left shoulder of Orion is marked by Gamma Orionis, known as Bellatrix, a Latin name meaning ‘the female warrior'. The star at the hunter's right knee, Kappa Orionis, is called Saiph.
For example, take the three brightest stars in Orion (Rigel, Betelgeuse and Bellatrix): they are 250, 150 and 210 parsecs away respectively (1 parsec = 1pc = 3.26 Light Years).
The other corners of the constellation are formed by Bellatrix (gamma Orionis) and Saiph (kappa Orionis). It was once thought that all women born under the sign of Bellatrix would be fortunate and have the gift of speech.
