My Favorite Constellation... Orion

Any time I happen to be out at night, I always look and see if  I can spot Orion. It is the most recognizable Constelation in the sky.
BETELGEUSE... BETELGEUSE... BETELGEUSE!

  2. I too love this constelation. It is just so expansive throughout the sky. You have this and Ursa Major, then you're left to you own devices in picking out the others. Of course, if you know where to look, others aren't THAT difficult to find, they just don't jump out at you like these two. The beauty of nature...a tribute to God.
