A Giant Constellation: Orion

February 2002 : By Dave Huestis

One of those bright and easily recognizable constellations is Orion, the mighty hunter. Though one does not need a telescope to view all the stars that comprise this star pattern, you can put your Christmas telescope to good use and go outside this February and focus your attention on one of the most beautiful celestial objects that resides within Orion's starry boundaries.
