Betelgeuse

Betelgeuse 

I chose this star primarily because of it’s name, this being the same title of the famous Tim Burton movie, just with a different spelling. In Arabic it actually means, “the hand of Orion,” but the translators misread the word and the initial Y that was supposed to start off the word was changed to a B. As a star it is the ninth brightest star in the night sky and the second brightest in the constellation Orion.
