CURSA (Beta Eridani). Orion is so important, he is not only accompanied by two hunting dogs, but his rest is assured by two footstools, one forward, the other to the rear.
The star can be found: west of Zaurak (Gamma Eridani); southwest of Cursa (Beta Eridani) and Rigel (Beta Orionis); northwest of Mu, Alpha (Arneb), and Beta Leporis (Nihal); and southeast of Keid and Beid (Omicron2 and Omicron1 Eridani, respectively).
The Witch Head Nebula, IC2118, lies close to [3680] beta Eridani and is thought to be either a gas cloud reflecting the light of [5971] Rigel, a supergiant star in the constellation Orion, or an ancient supernova remnant.
