Orion Kaydi Kochi and Rebecca Sekban

The Hunter It is a celestial constellation. It is located at the celestial equator. It is also the most prominent constellation.

Orion’s Belt Three bright stars in a row Alnitak, Alnilam, Mintaka Approximately 800 light years away from Earth Alnitak: Super Giant, 800 light years, 10,000 times greater than the sun Alnilam: Super Giant, 1000 light years, 18,000 times greater than the sun Mintaka: Super Giant, 900 light years, 7,000 times greater than the sun

Orion The belt is often used as way to navigate other stars, and constellations.

Orion The constellation formed over 1.5 million years ago. It is supposed to be in the night sky for up to 1 to 2 million years.

Orion This image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope shows infant stars "hatching" in the head of the hunter constellation, Orion. Astronomers suspect that shockwaves from a supernova explosion in Orion's head
