How to find Orion

Orion is the most recognizable constellation in the northern hemisphere in winter, and it also appears in the night sky in the southern hemisphere in summer. Here are some ways to find Orion:

1. Observe the equator and latitude: Orion is located at the equator of the celestial sphere, and we can find Orion according to its position. Facing due south, a specific angle inclined from the top of the head (zenith) to due south is the celestial equator, and this specific angle is the latitude value of the city where we live. After finding the celestial equator, you can find Orion.

2. Use the trajectory of Orion: Orion will rise and fall with the rotation of the earth, and the trajectory of Orion is parallel to the equator of the celestial sphere every time. We can find Orion according to this.

3. Use binoculars: If conditions permit, you can see some beautiful nebulae in Orion with binoculars, which is the best choice for deep space observation and even celestial photography.

4. Observe the constellation characteristics: Orion consists of 14 stars. Connecting these stars with lines looks like a hunter with a bow and arrow, so people call this constellation Orion. Among them, the hunter's "belt" is particularly conspicuous.

The above is the way to find Orion for your reference. It is suggested that when observing, you must choose sunny weather and environment for observation, or you can refer to books or websites related to astronomy for understanding.
