Orion:
The
Hunter
in
the
Sky
Orion
is
one
of
the
most
recognizable
constellations
in
the
night
sky,
easily
identifiable
by
its
distinctive
pattern
of
three
stars
forming
a
belt
across
its
center.
Named
after
a
mythological
hunter,
Orion
is
visible
from
both
hemispheres
and
has
been
revered
by
various
cultures
throughout
history.
In
Greek
mythology,
Orion
was
a
skilled
hunter
and
warrior
who
boasted
that
he
could
kill
any
animal
on
Earth.
This
angered
the
goddess
Gaia,
who
sent
a
giant
scorpion
to
kill
him.
Some
legends
say
that
Orion

saved
by
the
goddess
Artemis,
who
made
him
into
a
constellation
after
his
death.
Orion
is
a
prominent
feature
in
many
cultures,
from
the
ancient
Egyptians,
who
believed
it
to
be
the
soul
of
the
god
Osiris,
to
the
Native
American
Hopi
tribe,
who
saw
it
as
the
doorway
to
the
spirit
world.
In
China,
Orion
is
known
as
Shen,
and
is
associated
with
longevity
and
luck.
Scientists
have
also
been
drawn
to
Orion,
as
it
contains
some
of
the
brightest
and
most
massive
stars
in
our
galaxy.
The
Orion
Nebula,
located
in
Orion's
sword,
is
a
stellar
nursery
where
new
stars
are
being
born.
It
is
also
home
to
Betelgeuse,
a
red
supergiant
star
that
is
near
the
end
of
its
life
and
is
expected
to
go
supernova
in
the
next
few
million
years.
Orion
is
a
testament
to
the
wonders
of
our
universe,
simultaneously
capturing
the
imaginations
of
myth-makers
and
scientists
alike.
Whether
you
look
up
at
the
night
sky
for
spiritual
guidance
or
scientific
discovery,
it's
hard
not
to
be
awestruck
by
the
beauty
and
complexity
of
Orion
and
the
cosmos
beyond.
