The Orion You Can Almost See

This is a more complete view of Orion than you can see with the unaided eye, revealed through long-exposure photography. The cool red giant Betelgeuse glows orange at the lower left. Balancing it on the upper right is the hot blue supergiant Rigel, with Bellatrix at the upper left. This image captures the intricate details of one of the sky's most recognizable constellations.
