APOD 4.1

This is a picture of the constellation Orion setting in the sky. Spring is approaching the northern hemisphere and this constellation is a winter constellation so it will set earlier and earlier. The frame at the bottom of the picture shows trees which fit in with the constellation. The constellation Orion in English is "Hunter". So the trees add very nicely to the hunter persona of Orion. In the middle of the three diagonal stars is the stellar nursery and the star Beetelgeuse is the golden star at the very top inside the branches. Orion is a very recognizable constellation and one of the most popular during the  winter.
