Where is the constellation Orion?

Question

I live in Los Angeles.

Answer 1

Its a northern winter constellation - it rises in the east around 11:00 pm local time in early November and rising earlier each night throughout the winter.

Its one of the easiest ones to find - its the constellation that has 3 stars in a slanted straight row. Those stars are Orion's "belt". If you look above those stars to the left there is a bright reddish star that forms Orion's shoulder - that is the famous Betelgeuse. And look below and to the right of the belt and you will see a bright white star - that is the equally famous Rigel.

Answer 2

The Hunter is found in what’s called the Winter Triangle which includes the three stars, Sirius, Betelgeuse, and Procyon. It can be found right below the ecliptic (apparent path of the sun and moon across the night sky). The best time of year is “The Winter”, high in the Southern sky.

Answer 3

It's in the direction where the sun rises. You should see it when u go outside around 10 P.M.

Answer 4

Difficult to say as I don't know where you are or what time it is. It should be visible in the low eastern sky (south-eastern if in the US) by late evening.

Use this and set it for your city after you've signed on.

Answer 5

it's also good to note that the different stars that make up orion are not clustered together in space. all the stars are at very different distances from each other. we don't have the depth perception to notice that their so distant from each other, but they are.

Answer 6

I does not rise in the sky until about midnight or 1am. look to the east about then.

It depends on where you are located. Tell us your location, and we'll tell you where to find it.
