The Majestic Constellation
Orion is one of the most recognizable constellations in the night sky, depicted as a hunter with a distinctive belt of three stars. Its brightest stars, Betelgeuse and Rigel, are stars of considerable size.
Mythology and History
The stories behind Orion are as fascinating as the constellation itself. In Greek mythology, Orion was a giant huntsman whom Zeus placed among the stars. Stories vary, but all captivate the imagination of those curious about the skies.
How to Find Orion
Visible from both hemispheres, Orion is best seen during winter in the Northern Hemisphere. Look for Orion’s Belt, a straight line of three stars, to find his figure.
