Orion
the hunter constellation
Today this word meansThe easiest constellation to pick out in the winter night sky.
From Orion the hunter, who died of a scorpion's sting.
Orion and Scorpius sit on opposite sides of the sky — when the scorpion rises, Orion sets. Even in death, he keeps his distance.
The three stars in a row at the center are his belt, and the faint haze below them is the Orion Nebula.
