  1. Discover Orion: The Hunter in the Night Sky 🌌

    Orion is one of the most recognizable constellations, visible from both hemispheres. Named after the legendary hunter from Greek mythology, it dominates the winter sky in the Northern Hemisphere and the summer sky in the Southern Hemisphere.

  2. Got another nice look at #OrionConstellation right now, and the skies seem to remain clear tonight. Look forward to losing myself in the Nebulosities of Orion later on.

  3. #StarTrek and the #OrionConstellation

    In the end of TNG "Family", we see René Picard sitting under the tree, stargazing "late" while his parents watch on.

    Well, this sky is wrong as far as I can tell.

    Since the Battle of Wolf 359 that happened before, was on New Year 2366/2367, and Picard visits his family in summer when the grapes are already out, I chose a date in August to see when Orion rises, and that happens at 5 a.m. ish.

    So René should be up "early" stargazing, not late.
