Thread Name: BS: Visible stars in Orion?
Subject: RE: BS: Visible stars in Orion?
Orion is almost directly overhead in the predawn hours part of the year. Depending on how many street lights are illuminated (and within a semi-circle of 1 block diameter there can be five of them), and wheter my next door neighbor left her porch and garage lights on all night,I can sometimes even see the stars which make up his bow, other times I can barely make out his girdle (belt).
