When is Orion observed?


1 Answer


Orion can be observed in the clear night of Poush, Magh in winter season.

The most noticeable part of Orion is Orion’s Belt. These three stars in a row aren’t the brightest in the sky, but they’ll catch your eye. As seen from mid-northern latitudes, Orion appears to be lying on his side with his Belt stars pointing upward when he first ascends into our eastern sky in mid-evening at this time of year.
