Navigational Aid of the Past

The constellation Orion is named after the Greek mythology hunter, Orion. The way the stars are oriented in the night sky makes Orion easily recognizable, simply look up and try to find three stars in a straight line – this is Orion’s belt. To the left of Orion is Sirius, because every hunter must have a dog, right? Throughout various cultures in history, people have written about and drawn this constellation into their history, literature, and art. And finally, Orion can be used as a way to navigate the skies, its “belt” and “club” pointing to other stars. Own Orion for yourself or purchase it for a friend. It’s a great gift for astronomists, space scientists, stargazers, and starry-eyed science students.
