Look to the southeast shortly after sunset. Orion is a diamond-shaped constellation marked by a brilliant red star on the left corner (Betelgeuse) and a brilliant white star in the right (Rigel). Between them is a line of three bright stars in a row close together. Orion represents the Hunter. With very little imagination you can see Orion with Betelgeuse as his left shoulder and Rigel as his right knee; the three stars in a row are his belt.

His dog trails behind (below) him; Sirius, one of the brightest visible stars, is just rising.
