It is one of the most prominent and easily recognizable constellations and is visible in many parts of the world. The constellation is named after Orion, a hunter in Greek mythology.
The constellation is made up of several bright stars that form the shape of a hunter. The most notable stars are Betelgeuse and Rigel, which mark the shoulder and foot of the hunter, respectively. In between these two stars, there are three stars that form the "belt" of Orion. These stars are Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka.
