Constellation Orion

- Orion-
One of the best-known constellations in the sky. We group stars into the patterns we see from Earth against the background of the night sky, even thought the actual stars are not physically associated with each other. Orion (the Hunter) consists of roughly 20 visible stars, although most of the time we can only see 7-10 of them with the naked eye. This constellation is located in the southern sky, and is called a 'winter' constellation because it is most visible during the winter months.
