Orion, a constellation often referred to as The Hunter, is a prominent constellation, perhaps the best-known and most conspicuous in the sky. Its brilliant stars are found on the celestial equator and are visible throughout the world, making this constellation universally recognized. In the northern hemisphere, Orion is visible from late fall through early spring.
Orion is standing next to the river Eridanus with his two hunting dogs Canis Major and Canis Minor, fighting Taurus the bull. Other prey of his, such as Lepus the hare, can be found nearby.
In Australia, the belt and sword of Orion are sometimes called the Saucepan, because the stars of Orion's belt and sword resemble this cow as seen from the southern hemisphere. Orion's Belt is called "The Three Kings" (or "The Magi") in some places and, in South America, it is known as "Las Tres Marias" or "As Tr锚s Marias" (The Three Marys), in honor of Mary of Nazareth, Mary Magdalene, and Mary of Bethany, three major New Testament figuresDoes the constellation Orion look more lik a running dog to you?NO it looks like a hunter with a belt and a sword just as its supposed to, take another look ;) HDoes the constellation Orion look more lik a running dog to you?nope.. not much.. but there's a very little resemblance.Does the constellation Orion look more lik a running dog to you?omg, are you sirius?Does the constellation Orion look more lik a running dog to you?
