See it on NASA's siteOrion, one of the most recognizable constellations, rises over the Austrian Alps, framed by icicles. This iconic grouping has looked much the same for tens of thousands of years and will continue to do so. Prominent in the winter sky for the northern hemisphere, Orion is a constant celestial landmark.
