How did orion get in the sky?
The stars have always been there in the sky. But in ancient times before artificial lights, the night skies were DARK, and there wasn’t much to do except make up stories about the shapes that the primitive hunters and shepherds say in the sky. The story of the great hunter Orion was made up about a pattern of stars that people saw that suggested certain shapes, like a club raised high, a shield, Orion’s belt and dagger, and a dog (Canis Major) at Orion’s heels.
