Although it is one of the most recognizable star groupings on the sky, this is a more full Orion than you can see &#8212; an Orion only revealed with long exposure digital camera imaging and post-processing. Here the cool red giant Betelgeuse takes on a strong orange tint as the brightest star at the lower left. Orion&#8217;s hot blue stars are numerous, with supergiant Rigel balancing Betelgeuse on the upper right, and Bellatrix at the upper left. Lined up in Orion&#8217;s belt are three stars all about 1,500 light-years away, born from the constellation&#8217;s well-studied interstellar clouds. To the right of Orion&#8217;s belt is a bright but fuzzy patch that might also look familiar &#8212; the stellar nursery known as Orion&#8217;s Nebula. Finally, just barely visible to the unaided eye but quite striking here is Barnard&#8217;s Loop &#8212; a huge gaseous emission nebula surrounding Orion&#8217;s Belt and Nebula discovered over 100 years ago by the pioneering Orion photographer E. E. Barnard. via NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap190821.html\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you recognize this constellation?
