Obligation: Orion, Or The Hunt

Orion is my favorite constellation because it is one of the easiest to find and most recognizable. This makes it one of the most popular constellations. Orion's belt includes the three brightest stars in the sky. In the Northern Hemisphere, Orion is a fall and winter constellation, visible from November to February. One of Orion's "stars" is actually a nebula, the Orion nebula.

One of the most familiar constellations in the night sky aside from the Big and Little Dipper is Orion, the Hunter. Made identifiable by the three bright stars that make up "Orion's Belt", Orion is easily recognized throughout the world due to the convenient position upon the celestial equator, allowing the constellation to be seen from both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. I chose this constellation as my favorite because it was, in fact, one of the first myths that I had ever learned, and also because it was the easiest constellation that I was able to find from my Constellation Atlas as a child. The constellation of Orion is comprised of mostly of blue stars: young, hot burning, giant stars that range from 243 light years to 1,359

Orion has been mentioned through history by many different titles. The name Orion originates from Greek mythology, as the story of one of the sons of Poseidon. A giant, whose super strength aided him in being a powerful hunter. Such a great hunter he bragged he could kill every animal on the planet. This boast so disgusted one of the goddesses, she called up a massive scorpion to dispatch of the giant Orion as punishment. The battle was fought, and Orion was stung by the beast. As luck

Orion, also called The Hunter is my favorite constellation because it is perhaps the most prominent and well-known constellation, anywhere in the world, because its stars are so bright that it is possible to observe with the naked eye. Orion is located near the constellation Eridanus River and supported by his two hunting dogs Canis Major and Canis Minor fighting constellation Taurus.

He earned a spot amongst her hunters (who are generally only female) and was hailed as the best hunter the world had ever seen. There are different versions of his death, but one of the first says that he bragged to Artemis about his hunting prowess, saying he could kill any creature of the Earth. The Earth heard this and sent the Scorpion (Scorpio) to kill him. Orion and the Scorpion killed each other, and Artemis preserved them both in the night

My favorite constellation is Scorpius. I have chosen Scorpius because that is my Zodiac sign, and I have come to learn about it a lot in the past few years. Scorpius is Latin for "scorpion," and Scorpius is in between the constellation Libra to the west and Sagittarius to the east.

I have chosen Cassiopeia as my favorite constellation. The reason why i chose this constellation is firstly because I find it very easy to find in the sky due to its M or W shape ( depending on the season ), and secondly, because it is one of the first constellation on which I made a research on it's creation myth. Cassiopeia is still to this day one of the 88 recognized constellations by the International Atrsonomical Union.

According to mythology, Orion proclaimed himself the greatest hunter in the world, to the dismay of Hera, wife of Zeus. Hera had a scorpion kill Orion and Zeus put him into the sky as a constellation.

It is known as “The Hunter” because it is associated with greek mythology and it was also associated with fifth dynasty pharaohs. The three stars that make up Orion's Belt is called Alnilam, Mintaka, and Alnitak; they are the most important stars in this constellation. Also, Orion’s right shoulder Betelgeuse is the second brightest star and rigel is the first. Although, Bellatrix Orion’s left shoulder does not fall much behind by being the third brightest star in Orion. It was used as a central importance to many of the ancient cultures because they would align structures with the Orion’s stars, like they did

My favourite constellation is most probably Monoceros ("The Unicorn"), because I think that it is the most recognisable constellation in the night sky. Monoceros is a constellation that can be found on the celstial equator, and the actual name "Monoceros" is Greek for unicorn. It is bordered by Orion to the west, Gemini to the north, Canis Major to the south and Hydra to the east.

The name of the constellation comes from the Greek myth of the queen Cassiopeia (Κασσιόπεια). She was the queen of Aethiopia. She was married to the king Cepheus and they had one daughter, Andromeda. Cassiopeia was boastful. She claimed that her daughter and herself were more beautiful than the Nereids, the sea nymphs. In order to punish her for her proudness, Poseidon decided to submerge Aethiopia. Cassiopeia and Cepheus wanted to calm the sea God. They went to

Personally, my favorite constellation happens to be the Leo constellation. I imagine that the main reasoning behind this preference is simply that it was the first constellation that I had ever heard of, due to my mother's sudden talk of zodiac signs. Then, of course, she soon informed me that it was actually my zodiac sign. I found it to be a rather nice thing to learn at a young age. Of course, there is far more to the constellation than just being my zodiac sign. It's brightest star is Regulus, and Leo is also best seen during the month of April.

orion have greek myth,he was deductible as a handsome hunter,son of poseidon and euryale. Once upon a time he attacked merope (bad choice) and so her father angry and blinded him,but at least he was healed by helios and go to adventure with artemis until he got arrogant and start to declare will kill all animal,mother of earth get offended kill him with giant scorpio and zeus put orion in

My favorite Constellation is Canis Major, the Great Dog. It is located in the southern sky and it contains Sirius, the Dog Star. I chose this constellation because of the fact that it contains the Dog Star. I also like this constellation because it looks like it is following or chasing Orion. Canis Major was catalogued by the Greek Astronomer Ptolemy in the 2nd Century. This Constellations is the 43rd largest constellation, taking up an area of 380 square degrees.

I've chosen Orion as my favorite constellation for since I was a child I felt a remarkable passion by Greek Mythology. Among all the myths provided by the Greeks, the story of Orion, the Hunter, became one of my favorites because of its beautiful, tragic end. Besides, Orion was the first constellation I looked for with my father when he got his first Muggle telescope, thus Orion has, for me, an special meaning.
