Where is Orion in the sky?

In the middle of winter, when the Milky Way crosses the night sky obliquely from southeast to northwest, three bright stars with equal intervals can be seen in a straight line between Taurus and Canis canis on the southwest coast of the Milky Way. These three stars are called "Betelgeuse Samsung" in China. On the periphery of Samsung, there are four bright stars (Betelgeuse) forming a rectangular box, and the diagonal center of the box is just the star in the middle of Samsung. This rectangular frame and the starry sky around it are Orion.

Orion is the most gorgeous and bright constellation in the whole sky, and it is the gathering place of stars. It has 1 two stars, five second-class stars, four third-class stars, and1five fourth-class stars. Of the 88 constellations in the whole day, no other constellation has the how bright star like Orion.

165438+1At the beginning of October, Orion rose at about 10 in the afternoon. In the future, the rising time will be earlier every day. In the week around New Year's Day, at dusk, it just appeared in the East. In the future, the rising time will continue to advance. In May, Orion will rise at eight or nine o'clock in the morning and just sink after dusk.

Orion is the most prominent constellation in the winter sky. Of the 88 constellations in the whole day, Orion is the brightest star. There are 155 stars with magnitude of 6 or more, of which 1 has 2 equal stars (Orion α, β), 5 second-class stars (Orion γ, δ, ε, zeta, κ) and 4 third-class stars (π3, η, λ, ι), 65438. The advantages of Orion are that the right ascension is 4: 00+0 ~ 6: 23, the declination is-1 1 ~+23, and the area is 594 square degrees. Orion crosses the sky at 8 pm on February 5 every year.

In China's ternary 28 constellation system, Orion is equivalent to Betelgeuse, Jisu, Shenzhou 7 and Shuifu. Orion, whose Latin name is Olivier, is a giant engaged in hunting in Greek mythology.

In ancient Greek mythology, Poseidon's son Olivier had a strange ability to walk on the ground in the sea. Although he was born in Poseidon's family, he was naturally fond of living and hunting in the forests of Shan Ye. He has a loyal hound Cyrus, who runs and hunts with him in Shan Ye day and night. One day, themis, the moon and the goddess of hunting, met Olivier while traveling, and was attracted by this handsome young man and fell in love with him. Oliver also deleted the beautiful girl who fell in love at first sight. Since then, the two have been inseparable and their feelings have become deeper and deeper. Apollo, Artemis' brother, was dissatisfied with his sister's choice, so he stepped forward to dissuade the moon goddess and forbade her to associate with hunters. However, Apollo's dissuasion did not shake Artemis' heart. Apollo secretly sent a big scorpion to kill Olivia on the way, so the scorpion and the hunter made an enemy. Later, the scorpion was trampled to death by the Greek warrior Hector Couriss (Wu Xian). Apollo came up with a cunning plan to kill people with a knife to destroy the love between Oliver and the moon goddess. One day, Olivia was walking in the sea. He was completely submerged, only his head was above the water. Apollo saw this scene far away in the sky, and said to Chang 'e: Sister, everyone praises you as an archer, and your arrows hit every shot. I will compete with you in archery today. He pointed to the black spot moving on the sea in the distance and said, we will use it as a target. If you hit it, I will worship you as my teacher. Artemis didn't know her brother's trick and agreed without hesitation. She drew an arrow from the quiver, put it on the bow, aimed at the black spot in the distance and shot it out. He shot Oliver in the head without bias. Apollo smiled slyly. The goddess of the moon went to the seaside with victory. She was surprised to find that she had shot her beloved lover. She was very sad, so she went to ask the famous imperial doctor Asclepius to save Olivia. Asclepius was very kind, so he accepted luna's request and saved the hunter. This incident shocked Hades, the ghost in charge of hell. He was worried that there would be fewer and fewer ministers in hades, so he went to Zeus, the main god, to protest against the practice of imperial doctors. Zeus, the god of heaven, was not satisfied with the greed and evil of human beings on the ground, and did not want human beings to survive for a long time, so he shocked the dead doctors and hunters with lightning. Afterwards, Zeus sympathized with the innocent Olivin, and took him to heaven with a doctor, turning him into two constellations, one is the brilliant Orion and the other is Ophiuchus. At the same time, he raised Cyrus, the hunter's hound, into a big seat, and put him on the rabbit seat for Oliver to hunt. Because Oliver's old enemy Scorpion has become Scorpio at this time, in order to prevent them from getting too close in the sky and causing a fight, they put Orion and Scorpio in opposite directions in the sky. When Scorpio rises, Orion is empty below the horizon. When Orion appears in the sky, Scorpio hides. One after another, never meet again.

In China, Antares, the bright star of Scorpio, is also called Shang Xing. Call the above phenomenon "businessmen don't meet each other".
