I can still remember the first time I saw Orion's belt. I was 9 playing hide and seek with other kids in the neighborhood. I was by myself in the dark laying in the grass looking up and there they were. I was mesmerized. I could hear my friends yelling and screaming and playing but I just kept laying there just staring at Orion's belt. Only later did I realize what I'd been looking at.

My favorite constellation ❤️

Just 5 days ago I was in Mexico, had dinner at a beach restaurant, looked up the sky and Orion was staring at me, so I stared back for a while... Nice to get the details when the impressions are still fresh.

This popped up out of nowhere, I decided little had changed in the sky in 3 years. Made my day. Many years ago as a child, I lived in an unlit rural area, and the sky was dazzling at night. I since moved to the city, and the sky has been deleted. This video made me feel less mentally impoverished.

I live in Indiana and have looked at Orion's belt my whole life. Tonight is the first time I've caught your video and they are great. I'm 70 years old now so this means a lot to me. Thank you very much! I plan to watch your channel from now on.
-
I am glad I ran into this channel. When ever I am outdoors, my first gaze is at the stars in the sky. Thanks for a wonderful tutorial.
-
Thank's Janine for making this video simplistic and easy to follow. Also, You have a stellar voice! 😊
-
I had only ever seen it 'upside down' all my life - as a summer constellation - until my trip to the Northern Hemisphere. Loved it since childhood. My Grandfather was an English sea Captain and he taught me some names. He pronounced it 'Baytelgeeze'.
-
It's one of those things that once you learn about it and then see it, you always see it.
-
When I want to learn more about a specific constellation this is the first place I go, your videos are really helpful! Would love to see more videos like this for other constellations where you teach about the individual stars. Super interesting, thank you!
-
Thank you for your informative, creative videos.Beautiful shots.
-
Very informative. really enjoyed this video. Thank you.
-
Orion has always been my top favorite constellation, many dreams of flying to Betelguese. In Brazil we pronounce it as ~Beteugueise. Fun fact, old culture in here used to call the belts (Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka) as the Três Marias, or Mary Three.
-
One of the most detailed tutorial on the Orion constellation indeed! 🙏 Thank You So Much! 🕯
-
Omg thank you sooo much!!! I learned so much and you answered so many of my questions and wonders.
-
Great work breaking down the constellation of Orion. Very informative and interesting.
-
I taught myself the constellations as a teen in the early 70s but love to watch your videos. There is always some tidbit of information that I pick up from you, things I have not heard before. Your videos are an excellent source of info for anyone wanting to learn about the heavens.
-
All my childhood I saw them in the sky it's the easiest star constellation in the night sky sometimes I stare at them for hours for no reason haha
