Orion the Hunter
Sir Patrick Moore and the Sky at Night team explore the winter constellation of Orion, home to our nearest stellar nursery, where thousands of stars are being born.
The great winter constellation of Orion is easily visible, with its ruby red star Betelgeuse and distinctive shape. It is also home to the Orion nebula, our nearest stellar nursery, where thousands of stars are being born. Sir Patrick Moore and the Sky at Night team take us on a tour of this magnificent constellation and its jewels.
