The Bands of Orion, also known as Orion's Belt, consist of three prominent stars—Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka—that form a straight line in the constellation Orion. They are easily recognizable in the night sky and are located approximately 700 to 1,300 light-years away from Earth. These stars are part of a larger mythological figure representing a hunter in various cultures and are often used for navigation and as a reference point in astronomy.
