Description
January 28, 2023 - Orion and Sirius rising into a moonlit winter sky. Below Orion is Sirius in Canis Major. The red giant Betelgeuse and the blue giant Rigel stand out nicely above and below the Belt of Orion. Light from the first quarter Moon off frame illuminates the landscape. This serves as a good illustration of how the Belt stars in Orion point down to Sirius. The minor constellation of Lepus the Hare is below Orion. And the Pi stars that form the arc of the shield of Orion show up to the right of Orion
