Dear you

AAHHH, I FOUND OUT SOMETHING INCREDIBLY SHOCKING! MY 3 STARS HAVE AN IDENTITY! I mean, they should have one, but still.

Name: ORION
Translation: Orion, the hunter
Abbreviation: Ori
Genitive: Orionis
Size: 26
Regions: Equatorial
Located Between: Taurus, Sirius
Right Ascension: 6 hours
Declination: +5 degrees
Season: Winter
Midnight Culmination: December 13

Orion the hunter boasted that he would slay all animals on earth.
Three stars in a row make up Orion's belt, within a rectangle of four bright stars representing his shoulders and feet.
At sunset in the autumn, Orion's belt appears to rise straight up on the horizon.
The sword hanging from his belt includes M42, the beautiful Orion nebula.
Since Orion's belt of three bright stars lies upon the celestial equator, Orion is visible from every inhabited part of the globe.
Orion the hunter appropriately faces the red eye of Taurus. His two hunting dogs follow behind: The Big Dog or Canis Major, with the bright star Sirius. And the Little Dog, or Canis Minor, with the bright star Procyon.

Legend:
In the constellation chart above;
  • Star colors represent their spectral types (even for double stars).
  • Bright star labels are yellow; significant other stars are labelled in magenta.
    The size of each star indicates its relative magnitude.
  • Constellation names are light blue.
  • Grid lines represent either 10 degree intervals of declination above or below the equator, or intervals of one hour (15 degrees) of right ascension (measured along the equator).
  • Messier object numbers are pink.
  • Galaxies are ovals: blue if spiral, yellow if elliptical, light blue if irregular.
  • Globular clusters are gold starbursts.
  • Open clusters are dotted white circles.
  • Planetary nebula are green diamonds.
  • Bright nebula are magenta squares.
  • Dark nebula are grey rectangles.
  • Green x's are x-ray sources.
  • Purple O's with a diagonal slash through them are quasars.
I guess no one would read and try to understand what there is, but i'm putting up all the information here for fun. :)
What do you hunt, Orion,
This starry night?
The Ram, the Bull, and the Lion,
And the Great Bear, says Orion,
With my starry quiver and beautiful belt
I am trying to find a good thick pelt
To warm my shoulders tonight,
To warm my shoulders tonight.
I LOVE MY STARS!
