These stars are nearly equally spaced in a line as seen from Earth. Alnitak (ζ Orionis), the easternmost star in Orion's Belt, is a triple star system approximately 1,260 light-years from Earth. The primary star, Alnitak Aa, is a blue supergiant and the brightest class O star in the night sky. Alnilam (ε Orionis), the central star, is a blue supergiant around 2,000 light-years away. It is the brightest of the three stars and the fourth-brightest in the Orion constellation. Mintaka (δ Orionis), the westernmost star, is a six-star system located about 1,200 light-years away and is closest to the celestial equator. It is a multiple-star system composed of three spectroscopic components. These stars are hot, luminous blue supergiants. Although they appear close to each other in the sky, they are at varying distances from Earth. The stars of Orion's Belt are several times more massive than the sun and thousands or tens of thousands of times brighter. Together, the ten stars of these three systems possess a luminosity approximately 970,000 times that of the Sun. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1739419557.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1739419557.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1739419557.jpg |
Those tip calculations are wildly off (over double) - they're probably counting on the fact that most folks are unable to figure out a 20% tip and simply pay it.

There were once six Cherry’s Hamburgers locations in Oklahoma City, including one on 23rd Street a few blocks west of the state capitol. The Oklahoma Historical Society identifies this as the Route 66 location, which was offering root beer for a nickel and ten cent malts when this view was taken about 1949.
