2011 January 21: Alnitak, Alnilam, Mintaka
Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka are three bright bluish stars that scatter across the sky and shine extremely brightly. You can't miss them. They are captured beautifully in this picture as is shown. The thing that really suprises me about this picture are all the other bright objects in the sky. They are impossible to count they are so numerous. This picture has a lot of great color and brightness. I like it. The three major stars make up the belt of Orion which are very visible from Earth. They are all much brighter and much more massive than the sun itself. The famous Orion nebula is located at the bottom of the solar system.
