Orion

Orion is a well-known, conspicuous constellation visible from both hemispheres (spanning the equator) named for the hunter from ancient Greek mythology, Orion. It includes a number of prominent stars:

The latter three sit in a distinct row imagined as the hunter's belt, an asterism making the constellation evident. One of Orion's other "stars" is actually Orion Nebula, which appears to be the middle star of a line of three imagined to be Orion's sword, descending from the belt. The nebula hosts some of the nearest star-forming regions which include many objects of high interest to astrophysics.
