I need to know the magnitude of Orion the Hunter for my science report and I can't find it anywhere! I need to know the magnitude of the constellation. NOT the nebula! Thanks!|||伪 Betelgeuse +0.58


尾 Rigel +0.18


纬 Bellatrix +1.64


未 Mintaka +2.23


蔚 Alnilam +1.70


味 Alnitak +1.70


畏 Algjebba +3.38

The integrated apparent visual magnitude of the above stars and nebulae is 鈭?.08. The integrated apparent visual magnitude of everything in Orion is probably about 鈭?.40.|||The magnitude of a constellation is not a meaningful or useful measurement. You can find the magnitudes of all the visible stars on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sta鈥?/a>|||Constellations don't have magnitudes, because they are collections of many objects. Only single objects, like stars or nebulae, have magnitudes.
