Orion, a constellation often referred to as The Hunter, is a prominent constellation, perhaps the best-known in the sky.
In Australia, the belt and sword of Orion are sometimes called the Saucepan, because the stars of Orion's belt and sword resemble this kitchen utensil as seen from the southern hemisphere.
A key feature of Orion's constellation is his Belt of three bright stars that form a nearly straight line across its central parts.
In the direction of the constellation of Orion is the dense heart of this galactic arm, and so this part of the sky is filled with nebulous regions.
The region around the Belt and Sword of Orion, on the edge of the Molecular Cloud, is so active that it exerts immense pressure on the surrounding interstellar material.
