Orion's Belt is actually comprised of 6 (six) stars. Alnilam is a supergiant, Mintaka is a double star and Alnitak is a triple-star system.

The most spectacular site I’ve ever seen in the night sky was on the evening of October 2, 2015. I was having difficulty sleeping, so I walked outside to ground a little bit. Looking towards the East, there were a fair amount of clouds, even though the skies looked mostly clear. I was looking for that faithful Shepherd and Warrior, Orion, but none of the stars were evident for orientation. Suddenly, there was a brilliant flashing start which I initially mistook for Betelgeuse, but then I saw a second red star flashing, like these 2 were having a discussion! ( sorry.. I anthropomorphize everything ) Shortly after the 1st red star.. which I presume was Aldebaran, went “quite” and Rigel began flashing back and forth with Betelgeuse for several minutes. There weren’t any clouds visible over the Body of Orion, just the Right Shoulder and Left Foot, and so I was trying to sort it out.. when the Belt Stars lit up like a Digital Display on the Starship Enterprise, flashing in sequence and confirming that it was undoubtedly Orion, though Bellatrix and Saiph, as well as the Nebula were still nowhere to be found. Since the air was relatively clear at that point, it was still difficult to imagine, because Orion was rising in the East, but Sirius wasn’t visible.. probably behind the trees on the horizon, but the effect was like watching 2 cones of White Light with their interface along the Belt Stars then extending to Betelgeuse and Rigel respectively. I literally thought Jesus was gonna walk right out from the Center. I’ll be 61 in a few weeks, been watching the stars since I was around 5 years old. Never saw anything like it before.. or since.. but it was Spectacular. Thanks for these jewels of astronomy. Your efforts are not in vain. Blessings!

As a kid I remember going outside and being fascinated by the three stars in a row easily seen from downtown Denver where we lived. Secondly, I have been to the southern hemisphere and I love seeing Orion upside down along with all the constellations. It just never gets old. Thank you for this information filled video.

Very enjoyable video, Janine. That was great information on the belt stars. I believe those names, Alinak, Alinam, and Mintaka, are Arabic in origin, loosely translated as string of pearls, or belt of pearls. Our group was giving an open star party last night to a crowd of about 300 people. We spent a significant amount of time on Orion, especially the star sizes, including Beetlegeuse. I will be searching for more info on the multi-star configuration. Thanks from Dallas/Fort Worth.

In Hungary, there are several traditional names for the belt stars. Most of them refers to a stick or a wand, but in some regions, they call them in unexpected names like "the bread", "the three reapers","the three kings" or "Az Úristen vetése" (which means "the sowing of God")

This beautiful constellation just proved that the pyramids were once flipped the other direction perfectly aligning with the stars of Orion. But for that to be the entire earth would have to be oriented flipped north to south and south to north.
@whatabouttheearth
7 ай бұрын
What? I'm fairly sure you can stand somewhere in the area around the three great pyramids and align the tops to Orions belt. It's not magic, it's just that it's 3 points matching 3 points. You would have to be a certain distance away though depending on the time of year. And since Egypt is more south than say, the US, Europe, Russia, China etc, than Orion will be more north/higher in the sky.
