Hitting on the most well known facts about Orion is a great start for aspiring astronomers. What I would like to see is a more in-depth look at Orion. Like for instance, over 90 percent of Orion is filled with what really amounts to a vast nebula complex. this complex also extends well beyond the confines of the constellation, and there are star forming regions throughout it. Also, one thing that should be mentioned is that the stars Betelgeuse and Rigel most likely formed in the same area they now occupy; within that vast nebula complex I mentioned. I think of all the constellations in the sky, Orion is not just the most recognizable one but also the most interesting one, due to all of what it has going on within it. It certainly deserves a full hour episode exploring all it has to offer the astronomical community.

I appreciate the little nuances you add as that helps clarify some nagging questions I had- such as "what does M42 look like through a telescope?" (my scope shows it as a faint smudge) and is the horsehead nebula visible through the scope (which you clarified and stated it was only visible through prolonged exposure). Thank you for all that!!!

Hope English is 2nd: the story goes that "The Hunter" was sidetracked, tricked by a bunch of girls, who were trying to save all the animals [I kid you not] so after 7 years of blind man's bluff in the gardens with Zeus's daughters, presumably the sweet influences of the Pleiades [or the daughters of Zeus] he then hurled them into the cosmos to become the eponymous constellation along with Orion "The Hunter" chasing the Pleiades eternally, all done evidently without having loosened his belt, which might become much harder to doff if Betelgeuse goes supernova!

Dr. Heath. I seem to remember you from years ago. Did you work as a lab assistant in the Biology Dept in the 1990's ? I graduated from UALR, but you probably dont remember me. Anyway, it seems nobody remembers the Andromeda Galaxy being where I thought it was. Oh well. Take care.
@darrellheath97768 жыл бұрын
I'm afraid the Andromeda Galaxy is where it's always been within the constellation of Andromeda. While it is true that galaxies move (and the Andromeda Galaxy is moving towards us at the rate of 68 miles per second) the distances that separate them from us is so vast that such movements are not discernible within a single human lifetime. Indeed, often times not even over the course of thousands of years. Your memory does serve you well though otherwise! I did TA courses in vertebrate zoology, mammalogy, and herpetology back in the day. Take care and thanks for the query!

@darrellheath97768 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your query! Not quite sure what object you were seeing but many stars will twinkle madly when seen low along the horizon. This is because when we look at objects low in the sky we are also looking through a much thicker layer of atmosphere and atmospheric disturbances can make stars twinkle. A lot. Sirius, the brightest star in our night sky (and located down and to the left of Orion's belt) is notorious for putting on a flickering/pulsating show when it is very low in the sky.

@darrellheath97765 жыл бұрын
That's an interesting question. Several of the constellations are mentioned in writings on ancient Babylonian and Mesopotamian clay tablets. Later, the Greeks (and then the Romans) would adopt these constellations, before they finally became the classical figures we know today. We don't know the exact origins for many of the modern day constellations but they could predate even the Mesopotamians. Recently, some scholars have claimed that prehistoric cave paintings found in Europe are among the oldest depictions of the constellations. They argue that paintings depicting a bull, a lion, and a scorpion could be the earliest representations of constellations such as Taurus, Leo, and Scorpius. But these are conjectures and we have no real way of knowing for sure.
