Orion
Estrela mais brilhante: Rigel
Orion é uma das constelações mais reconhecíveis do céu noturno, com o famoso "cinturão" de três estrelas alinhadas (Alnitak, Alnilam, Mintaka).
Quando observá-la
Visível no hemisfério norte de novembro a abril.
Mitologia
In Greek myth, Orion is a giant hunter, son of Poseidon. Renowned for his beauty and strength, he was killed by a scorpion sent by Gaia to punish his arrogance. Zeus placed him among the stars opposite Scorpius, so the two never cross the sky together — when one rises, the other sets.
Ideia de presente
A star map featuring the Orion constellation is the quintessential winter gift, or for anyone born in January/February under this spectacular sky. Rigel, Betelgeuse, and Orion's Belt stand out with maximum clarity on a premium print.
