About (Orion)
to find Orion look for the belt, three bright stars more or less in a straight line In Greek mythology Orion was the greatest hunter that ever lived (or so he said), and certainly he was a great hunter though he was beaten by the Scorpion sent by the Earth Goddess in response to Orion's boast that he would kill all the animals in the world, in the end Artemis, Goddess of the hunt and the moon was fooled into shooting him to death.

Parallax (A way to measure distance in space)
the apparent shift in the position of an object, or star, that can be used to figure out the distance of another object, or star. to change the parallax angle (the angle found in a parallax experiment) you do this problem D=1/p D is distance p is parallax angle
 * 1) look at an object usually your thumb or a star
 * 2) then change angles and look again (the angle change is accomplished either by closing one eye (if you're using your thumb) or waiting six months and looking at the same star (this version only works with stars) from the same position
