Cassel Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 In April, our monthly theme is STARS. Let’s play our monthly alphabet game. Based on the alphabet, name a star, a constellation or another celestial element. I am sure you will be needing some help from Google. Why not? Maybe we'll learn some things? If you have a reference or an image to illustrate, go for it? Let's go! (remember: only ONE answer per letter, to give us more options for seconds if we get to that point) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Rubottom Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Orion's Belt or the Belt of Orion, also known as the Three Kings or Three Sisters, is an asterism in the constellation Orion. It consists of the three bright stars Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka. Looking for Orion's Belt in the night sky is the easiest way to locate Orion in the sky.
