After dusk the constellation of Orion the Hunter can be seen low in the eastern sky. As seen from the southern hemisphere, Orion is upside down. Rigel, the bright star at the top of Orion, represents Orion’s left foot. Betelgeuse, the bright reddish star at the bottom represents Orion’s right armpit.
