Eye on the Night Sky

Today:
Just past 8 PM, three stars will rise in the eastern sky, appearing close together and vertically aligned, to comprise Orion’s belt. These stars are much less bright than Orion’s brightest, those being Orion and Betelgeuse. But the close alignment of the belt stars makes Orion’s belt the easiest part of the constellation to identify.
