You probably mean Ophiuchus.

It starts with the same initial letter as a famous winter constellation with several bright stars and a famous nebula, Orion.

There must be something more than that though.

Here's a couple of things:

Only 4 Supernova explosions have been recorded by astronomers, in our Galaxy.

One of them was in Ophiuchus in 1604. It became known as "Kepler's star".

The star called "Barnard's star" is also in this constellation. It is the fastest moving star in the sky. Unfortunately you need a telescope to see it, but its movement can be easily detected within an average human lifetime.

(Also, the Sun passes through Ophiuchus in its yearly path around the sky,

but it's not included in the the Zodiac constellations.)
