k Orion constellation. The most prominent feature of the constellation is Orions Belt, a row of three bright stars centre left. From left to right, these are Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka Zeta, Epsilon and Delta Orionis respectively. At upper left is the red supergiant star Betelgeuse Alpha Orionis. The blue supergiant star Rigel Beta Orionis is at lower right. Directly below the belt, the Orion Nebula is seen as a pink smudge. Orions belt straddles the celestial equator, so the constellation is seen equally well from both hemispheres. Photographed from Germany. Editorial Stock Photo - Afloimages
