Orion's belt is one of the more well known star formations. Culturally, it was a major element of the first Men in Black film - although it turned out that the star formation was being confused with a cat's collar.
The formation was also mentioned in the original Star Trek series; in the City on the Edge of Forever, Kirk tells Edith Keeler (played by Joan Collins) that in "a hundred years or so" a famous novelist would come from a star just to left of Orion's belt.
In the 1990s there was hypothesis that the star's making up Orion's belt were "perfectly" aligned with the positions of the three Giza pyramids. The hypothesis has been rebutted by several astronomers and Egyptologists.
