The Orion Constellation
The Orion constellation represents a mythical hunter. There is a line of three stars at the centre which are thought to be his belt.
If you are trying to look for this constellation that is a good place to start.
The main star of Orion is at the top left and is called Betelgeuse (beetle juice). It is about 1,000 times the size of the sun!
In the picture, you may see a pink dot below his belt which is the Orion nebula and it is mean to be the sword hanging from his belt.(see close up below)
The bottom right star is called Rigel and it represents Orion's feet.
