	Alnilam (Epsilon Orionis)
		Alnilam is a blue-white supergiant that for many years has served as a standard star against which to compare others.
		Like most supergiants, Alnilam is rapidly shedding mass: a powerful stellar wind blowing from its surface at speeds up to 2,000 km/s and carrying way about two millionths of a solar mass per year (20 million times the rate lost by the Sun).
		Though only about four million years old, Alnilam is already fusing heavy elements in its core and doomed to explode, in the next million years or so, as a supernova.

	eSky: Orion's Belt
		Both Alnilam and Alnitak are supergiants, and Mintaka, while not quite as massive as its companions, is still a true giant.
		The central star, Alnilam, is much more distant than either of these, lying on the edge of the Orion Molecular Cloud more than 1,300 light years from the Solar System.
		Alnilam is the most massive and luminous of the three stars, so that despite its greater distance it still shines more brightly than its two companions.

	Prometheus Blind
		The members of Alnilam, who refuse to believe that Joel is dead, see themselves as the forefront of a revolutionary movement that has already been spread, in coded messages, to other air bases and that will eventually alter human consciousness.
		Cahill has trouble (as the reader might well have) making sense of the esoteric message of Alnilam, but he feels drawn to its followers and is in turn seen by them as a kind of totem figure, whose arrival was prophesied by his lost son.
		The mystery of Alnilam is too vague to engage us, and the planned demonstration of its power is too weakly anticipated and too mechanically carried out to have the impact one longs for.

	New Georgia Encyclopedia: James Dickey (1923-1997)
		This idea eventually developed into the novel Alnilam (1987), which uses parallel columns of text to narrate from both a blind and a sighted man's point of view.
		Alnilam was a serious and ambitious effort that was widely if unenthusiastically reviewed.
		Oddly, the vitality that Dickey seemed unable to achieve in his last major book of poetry, The Eagle's Mile, clearly left a mark on his last novel, To the White Sea (1993), about a tail gunner's struggle for survival after his B-29 is shot down over Tokyo during a bombing mission in 1945.

		Alnilam is a blue supergiant, a massive and hot star.
		It lies close to the dense Orion Molecular Cloud, and brightens part of this cloud to form its own reflection nebula, catalogued as NGC 1990.
		Alnilam lies at the centre of the richly starred region of Orion, forming the 'buckle' on Orion's prominent Belt.

		Though all three stars have similar colors, classes, and temperatures, Alnilam, a hot B (B0) bright supergiant, is notably the most luminous: it is brightest even though farthest away, half again farther than the other two (which lie at nearly the same distance, about 870 light years).
		From Alnilam's measured (though rather uncertain) distance of 1340 light years, it spectacularly radiates (after correction for its great amount of ultraviolet light) 375,000 solar luminosities from its 25,000 Kelvin surface, and is so hot that it illuminates its own (faint) nebulous cloud from the surrounding interstellar gases.
		Alnilam has served for many years as a "standard star" against which to compare others.

	The Enterprise Mission - Economist Calculates the Odds
		To find out the chance of Encke and Alnilam setting within nine minutes of each other on the same day then we must divide 2,073,600 by the number of possible permutations when Encke and Alnilam will be setting within nine minutes of one another.
		Even if Encke and Alnilam set with nine minutes of one another this period is unlikely to overlap with the time of the crash.
		The setting place of a fixed star such as Alnilam is determined by the 26,000 year cycle of precession that causes a star's setting place to slowly creep around the horizon.

		Within the belt of Orion, in the star region of Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka, is an inner heaven, a locus of death and rebirth of stars and species, and the doorway to the Father’s throne.
		The belt of Orion (Mintaka, Alnilam, and Alnitak) acts as the central control for higher evolutionary programming used by those residing at an omni-universal level to orchestrate planetary evolution.
		The Pleiades is the synchronization point for all cosmic timing cycles, the place from which the rhythms of this part of the galaxy (at least) are orchestrated.

	ADDENDUM: THE EFFECT OF TWO APOLLO LAUNCHES, AS-201 AND AS-202, ON THIS ANALYSIS
		Alnilam in AS-201 does go just outside the +-15 arc minute tolerance, and so cannot be counted; but because I did not wish to go beyond +-15 arc minutes (the equivalent of +-0.25 degrees), I did not further extend the tolerances.
		Since one more "hit" is added, and it is Alnilam, this does affect the Sirius, Alnitak and Mintaka trend in a slightly negative way.
		In the NASA launch data, instead of appearing 49 times out of 61, as they do in the paper, they occur 49 times out of 62, which is still more than they should appear in the data by random chance.

	Alnilam Summary Study Guide
		Deliverance (1970), which is filled with cinematic metaphors and tightly constructed around a plot of physical actions in a picturesque landscape, seemed almost destined for the successful movie treatment it received two years after publication.
		However, in its length, its use of typographical devices that depend on print, and its interior monologue of a blind diabetic, Alnilam seems almost deliberately uncinematic.
		Nor did the failure of the book to become a popular success encourage producers to adapt it, and Alnilam has not, to date, been made into a film.

		The peculiar physical design of Alnilam, its organization into columns of dark and light type, recalls Dickey's tendency in his early poetry to divide his lines into distinct halves.
		As in much of the rest of his writing, Dickey is attentive here to the accents and idioms of his characters, in this case for the most part the language of rural North Carolina.
		In Alnilam, he continues his connoisseurship of the monomaniacal individual tested under extraordinary circumstances.

	Re: What is the position of the star Alnilam?
		It turns out this star isn't as obscure as I was afraid of.
		I found what you want in the 1998 Nautical Almanac, commercial edition, published jointly by Paradise Cay Publication and Celestaire, Inc. Alnilam is magnitude 1.8.
		In December, 1998, it was located at SHA 275 degrees, 57.4 minutes, that number decreasing by roughly.2 minutes per month.
