Orion's Belt
Orion's Belt is a prominent feature in the night sky, consisting of three bright stars: Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka. These stars form a straight line and are part of the larger constellation Orion, which is named after a hunter in Greek mythology. Orion's Belt is easily recognizable and serves as a guide to locate other constellations.
The stars in Orion's Belt are relatively close to Earth, with Alnitak being about 800 light-years away, Alnilam around 1,300 light-years, and Mintaka approximately 900 light-years distant. This alignment of stars is visible from both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, making it a favorite for stargazers.
