About Alnitak:
If you want to find the star Alnitak then you would have to start at the Big Dipper. Then you go forward till you get to three bright stars, which represent Orion' s belt. The mythology of the constellation Orion was that Orion stated that he was going to kill all wild animals. Apollo told Mother Earth what Orion was planning on doing and Mother Earth send out the scorpion. The scorpion and Orion start to fight but he had killed the scorpion to get free. Orion started to swim away to get free but Apollo trick Artemis into killing Orion. Artemis felt sad so he brought Orion to the Gods but Zeus wouldn't bring him back. So then Artemis put him in the stars.
