The Constellation Orion

Orion, the Hunter, is one of the largest and most easily identifiable constellations in the sky. Once you spot the three stars in Orion’s belt the rest of the constellation is easy to make out. Orion’s belt is often referred to as the “Three Kings”. The three stars that make up Orion’s belt are, from left to right; Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka.
