Star Naming Guide: Valentine's Day Stars

Romantic Valentine's Day Stargazing

When you’re stargazing on Valentine’s Day, be sure to view the romantic stars and constellations. One of the most popular viewing opportunities during the Valentine’s Day stargazing season is a bright red star (actually, a red giant star) commonly called Betelgeuse, but also known as the Valentine’s Star.

Search out Betelgeuse in the constellation Orion using a star chart. The Valentine’s Star is located off one of the shoulders of Orion and glows red, so it’s easier to spot than some other individual stars. Orion can easily be seen from most locations on Earth in mid-February.

If you don’t have a star chart handy, you can find Orion by locating four bright stars in a rough box-shaped pattern. You’ll also see three bright stars at a slight angle in the center. The three stars make up Orion’s Belt. The four bright stars forming the box-shape represent Orion’s shoulders and feet.
