The constellation Orion straddles the equator and is visible from almost everywhere in the world. The equator actually passes just above the northernmost star in Orion's belt.



If you're looking at Orion, you're looking away from the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. You can see the galaxy as it passes just to the east of Orion but it is not as bright in that part of the sky. A test to see how clear and dark the night skies in your area are is whether you can see that part of the galaxy.



There is an asterism known as the Winter Triangle. The stars are Betelguese (the bright red star in Orion), Procyon, and Sirius. There''s also another one known as the Winter Hexagon. Those stars are Rigel (the bright bluish star in Orion), Aldebaran, Capella, Pollux, Procyon, and Sirius.
