Overview

A magnificent constellation A giant hunter etched in the cosmos. A wonder to behold on cold winter nights.

Each astronomer tells how they took their pictures, when they became inspired by astronomy, and why this iconic warrior of the heavens became a favourite target. Guest essays telling the science and story of Orion are featured alongside a host of Fun Facts and Guides to help you capture the Mighty Hunter in the night sky. With a Foreword by Irish astronomer John Flannery, Stars of Orion is a spellbinding fusion of the astronomical, the mythical, and the personal for stargazers of all ages - and everyone who loves Orion!
