WISE的红外眼，可以透过发光体捕捉到星云的尘埃，这些尘埃也由于参宿一发光而升温。
WISE's infrared eye, however, can see past the glow to capture the nebula's dust, which is also being warmed by light from Alnitak.
画面中央偏下，也就是位在参宿一右方的马头星云，由致密的黑暗尘埃组成，应当是天空中最被认可的形状。
Below the frame center and just to the right of Alnitak lies the Horsehead nebula, a dark indentation of dense dust that has perhaps the most recognized nebular shapes on the sky.
奥西里斯的到来是被三个智者宣布的，即三颗星：Mintaka,Anilam,和猎户座的参宿一带的Alnitak。直接指向奥西里斯的明星在东部，天狼星是他出生的迹象。
Osiris coming was announced by Three Wise Men: the three stars Mintaka, Anilam, and Alnitak in the belt of Orion, which point directly to Osiris' star in the east, Sirius, as a sign of his birth.
如果把它放到我们的太阳系中，参宿四的直径几乎可以环绕木星轨道一周。
If found in our own solar system its diameter would almost encompass the orbit of Jupiter.
在明亮的超巨星参宿七的照耀下，女巫头星云的尾部就像一阵烟，穿过700光年远的波江座。
Basking in the glow of the bright supergiant star Rigel, the Witch Head Nebula trails like a puff of smoke through the Eridanus constellation about 700 light years away.
参宿四，是距离地球640光年的猎户星座中的一颗红巨星，这意味着它的生命将会因为爆炸而即将结束。
Betelgeuse, which is part of the Orion constellation 640 light years away from Earth, is a red supergiant, meaning that it is nearing the end of its life and is due to explode.
大多数星座只有一颗明星，但是猎户座有两颗：参宿七和参宿四。

So don't count on getting a lot of sleep when Betelgeuse explodes, because the only sensible thing for the world to do will be to throw a weeks-long global supernova party.
但是象参宿四那样相对稀少的巨型恒星是如何出现的呢？同样多的物质材料通常可以产生一批象太阳大小的天体，甚至可以产生更多的普通红矮星。
But how do relatively rare titans such as Betelgeuse emerge from the same stuff that usually yields batches of sun-sized orbs and even more common red dwarfs?
