Is it O’Ryan or Orion?


Just a little Irish humor.

The most visible constellation throughout ALL the world is the constellation of ORION the Hunter. Orion can be easily seen in the night sky from November to February of each year – late fall to winter in the Northern Hemisphere, late spring to summer in the Southern Hemisphere. In the period May–July (summer in the Northern Hemisphere, winter in the Southern Hemisphere) Orion is in the daytime sky and thus not visible at most latitudes.

Three of its brightest stars are located in what is called the Belt of Orion. These three stars are referred to as the Three Marys…referring to the three Marys who were companions to Mary, the Mother of Jesus: Mary of Cleopas, Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of James.
