If you live in the northern hemisphere, it's easy to see all year long. From the southern United States, it's easiest to see in the summer, but if you have a clear view to the north (without any trees or buildings in the way) you can see it very low on the northern horizon even in the winter. From Canada, Europe and much of Asia it is also quite easy to see on any clear night of the year.

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.

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