| The sky was amazing! Orion seen clearly. "To the ancient Greeks, the seven bright stars of Orion resembled a giant. The line of three stars was his belt, from which hung his sword.

Māori considered that Rigel, which they called Puanga, was a fruit, and birds would alight on the perch to feed" (https://teara.govt.nz/en/diagram/7917/interpretations-of-orion) |
