"Orion's belt" just refers to the three stars which are more or less in a row. Those are real stars, not galaxies.In the movie "Men In Black", there was a statement that "the galaxy is on Orion's belt", which didn't seem to make sense at first (as was pointed out to the main character); but the "galaxy" turned out to be a miniature galaxy (the size of a pebble), the "belt" was actually a collar, not a belt, and "Orion" was the name of a cat.
