ORION IS THE UNMISTAKABLE KING OF THE WINTER
CONSTELLATIONS.

HE S ONLY VISIBLE DURING THE
WINTER, BECAUSE HE S LOCATED ON THE OTHER

SIDE OF THE SUN THE REST OF THE YEAR!

WITH THIS
WEEK S NEW MOON HE SHOULD BE EASY TO SPOT.

IF YOU FACE SOUTHEAST ANY NIGHT THIS WEEK:
THERE HE IS!

ORION IN ALL HIS BELTED GLORY.

LOOK
FOR THE THREE STARS IN A ROW SIGNIFYING HIS

BELT, PLUS TWO SHOULDER STARS AND TWO LEG
STARS.

BUT, THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT ANY OF OUR
CONSTELLATIONS, IS THEY ONLY REALLY EXIST

FROMOUR PERSPECTIVE.

IF YOU SAILED FAR FROM OUR SOLAR SYSTEM, EVENTUALLY
OUR CONSTELLATIONS WOULD DISTORT AND BECOME

UNRECOGNIZABLE.

ALL OF THE STARS ARE DIFFERENT DISTANCES AWAY
FROM US SO LET'S LOOK AT HIM FROM A DIFFERENT

PERSPECTIVE.

IF WE LEAVE EARTH FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF
LIGHT WE CAN COME AROUND TO THE SIDE.

THE
SHAPE IS ALL CHANGED!

EVEN HIS BELT STARS ARE
SPREAD OUT.

IT S A WHOLE NEW CONSTELLATION FROM A WHOLE
NEW PERSPECTIVE.

KEEP LOOKING UP!
