Orion the Hunter



















With the northern hemisphere spinning into Winter, my constellation is rising in the east. Orion the Hunter is a magical constellation for me. Since my birthday is in January I feel this is my guardian. The stars within the constellation are a fascinating combination. Starting with Betelguese in the upper left, to Bellatrix down to Rigel, and on toe Seiph. The belt starts with Alnitak, to Alnilam, and followed by Mintaka. It is amazing to me the amount of arabic named stars still remain. Finishing with the Orion Nebula has the sword in the belt is just fantastic
