Orion constellation

Part 1

Orion happens to be my favorite constellation. Orion is a fascinating constellation

with a lot of intriguing facts about it. Orion is the 26th biggest constellation. There are two of

the ten brightest stars in the sky in the Orion constellation, which are blue-white Rigel and

red Betelgeuse. Rigel is the brighter of the two. The Constellation Orion is portrayed as a

gigantic hunting shield in his hand, with a belt and sword surrounded by Canis Major and

Canis Minor, his hunting dogs. Under Orion's feet, his dogs pursue a hare (or rabbit) as the

constellation Lepus, which keeps its low profile in the heavenly beneath, as its untamed

namesake.

Part 2

Orion is 26-sided polygon constellations in the heavenly equator. It is also one of the

brightest constellations, so it is easy to find. Orion can be viewed with its naked eye between

850 degrees Celsius and 75 degrees Celsius from November to February, in south-west sky

from the North or northwest skies from a 5-hour right uphill, a 5-degrees decline from the

Southern Hemisphere. There are various legends about Orion and several variations about his

death such as he is believed to be dead when he walked in Scorpio. The gods felt sorry for

him and placed him as a constellation in the heavens.
