Heike Star (Betelgeuse) and Genji Star (Rigel)

[Theme] Star Orion, a typical winter constellation The Japanese name for the red first-magnitude star Betelgeuse in the upper left is Heike Star. The Japanese name for the white first-magnitude star Rigel in the lower right is Genji Star. Because the two sides faced each other with the three stars in between, it is said that it was likened to the red flag of the Heike clan and the white flag of the Genji clan. Generated with Bing Image Creator As expected, Orion\'s shape could not be maintained and it became a strange constellation. I think it turned out to be an interesting picture that captures the atmosphere of the Genpei battle lol
