Orion rises over the Earth
Orion rises over the Earth’s atmosphere in this snapshot from the International Space Station. The belt stars, Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka run right to left and Orion's sword, home to the great Orion Nebula, hangs above his belt, an orientation unfamiliar to denizens of the planet's northern hemisphere. #stars #iss #funfactfriday
