I'm assuming you mean the constellation. Betelgeuse, or Alpha Orionis, is now estimated to be located around 430 +/- 100 light-years from Sol (based on a HIPPARCOS Plx= 7.63 +/- e_Plx= 1.64 mas). It lies in the northeastern part (5:55:10.3+7:24:25.4, ICRS 2000) of Constellation Orion
It's Orion's right shoulder
