	Orion (constellation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Orion, a constellation often referred to as The Hunter, is a prominent constellation, perhaps the best-known in the sky.
		In Australia, the belt and sword of Orion are sometimes called the Saucepan, because the stars of Orion's belt and sword resemble this kitchen utensil as seen from the southern hemisphere.
		Orion is stung to death by the scorpion.

	eSky: Orion
		A key feature of Orion's constellation is his Belt of three bright stars that form a nearly straight line across its central parts.
		In the direction of the constellation of Orion is the dense heart of this galactic arm, and so this part of the sky is filled with nebulous regions.
		The region around the Belt and Sword of Orion, on the edge of the Molecular Cloud, is so active that it exerts immense pressure on the surrounding interstellar material.

	Outpost Gallifrey: Reviews
		But 'Sword of Orion' has aged well; derivative it may be, but its full of grittiness and tension that makes it a classic example of a triumph of style over substance.
		Whilst 'Sword of Orion' lacks the sheer horror of, for example, 'Spare Parts', it also on occasion lifts the horror of the Cybermen beyond what could be reasonably depicted in the television series, with rotting semi-converted humans littering the star destroyer and several grizzly deaths, most notably Mark Kelsey's.
		Her worst moment in 'Sword of Orion' is entirely Briggs fault; at the end of Episode Four, she states "They tried to improve themselves but they got it wrong", a nauseating summation of the moral of the story that sounds like it ought to be in an episode of Thundercats.

	Sword of Orion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Sword of Orion is what I'd call a "pure" science fiction story, featuring a lot of technical jargon, a bevy of hardened space travellers, and no ghosts in sight (for a while there, every Big Finish story was about bloody ghosts!).
		Sword of Orion is, for the most part, suspenseful and engaging.
		In the final analysis, Sword of Orion is a mixed bag (I believe you Brits would refer to it as a "curate's egg," whatever the hell that means!).

	Orion
		Orion, the splendid huntsman, was famous for his prowess both as a hunter and as a lover.
		Orion seems oblivious to the advances of these two goddesses as he moves across the Winter sky, when Orion sets in the west, however, his stars fade very slowly, which means that the Dawn tries to stay by his side as long as possible.
		In early Arabia Orion was Al Jauzak, originally it was the term used for a fl sheep with a white spot on the middle of the body, the Walnut, the Strong One.

	Hunting Orion
		Orion is instead made of a grand assembly of hot, blue-white, massive class O and B stars called Orion OB1.
		The Orion Nebula shines by a form of fluorescence, its radiating gases ionized by the ultraviolet light from a set of four hot stars that appear in the middle collectively known as the Trapezium (Theta-1 Ori), most of the energy coming from Theta-1 C, a 40-solar-mass O6 star heated to 40,000 Kelvin.
		Orion, as in the myths of the ancient Hunter, is doomed, his stars exploding him into non-existence (stellar motions doing that anyway).

		In the constellation of Orion, the hunter's belt is seen as three distinctive stars in a row.
		At a distance of 1500 light years, this is the nearest large region of star formation and is one of the most intensly studied regions of the sky.
		A giant stellar nursery, the Orion nebula is home to thousands of young stars, some of which are known to have disks of dust that may be forming new planets.

	Constellation Orion
		From his belt there hangs a well defined dagger (known as "Sword of Orion"), which is known for one of the most famous nebulas in the sky: The Large Orion Nebula (M42).
		Orion lies close enough to the Milky Way to be interesting enough to be swept even with low-power telescopes or binoculars.
		The Messier database has detailed information about The Large Orion Nebula M 42 and M 43, the DeMairan nebula, which is a part of the Orion Nebula.

		Thus, Orion constantly berated the poor folk of the kingdom, calling them "worthless rats." On the field of battle, Orion was a bloodthirsty animal, for victory, to him, meant total destruction of the enemy and woe to the man who met him in battle, for Orion would not leave him alive.
		Orion quickly drew his sword, prepared to vent his anger on the old man. However, where the old man once stood, there was now a tall, youthful man in his place.
		Orion cautiously opened the door and was greeted by the image of a man with slate-gray eyes which burned with insanity.

	The Orion Cloud and Association
		These young stars make up the so-called Orion OB1 Association; OB because the most massive, most luminous, and simultaneously hottest of these stars belong to spectral types O and B. Because they are so luminous, they use up their nuclear fuel quickly and have only a short time to live.
		The stars of the Orion Nebula, M42 and M43, form a subset of this group, and are sometimes separately counted as subgroup 1d, the very youngest stars of the Orion OB1 association.
		At the upper left is the nebula complex around the star Zeta Orionis, consisting of bright Orion B (NGC 2024) left of the star, and IC 434 with the conspicuous dark Horsehead Nebula, plus various small nebulae.

		This is the "Sword" region easily seen by naked eye below the "Belt" of Orion.
		Binoculars begin to hint at its true cloudy nature, but a telescope reveals it to be the tumultuous cocoon of active star birth that it is. Known as M42 (M43 is the bright knot just above it), this stunning object is 1500 light-years distant and about 30 light years across.

		Located at a distance of about 1,600 (or perhaps 1,500) light years, the Orion Nebula is the brightest diffuse nebula in the sky, visible to the naked eye, and rewarding in telescopes of every size, from the smallest glasses to the greatest Earth-bound observatories and the Hubble Space Telescope.
		As the drawings of the Orion Nebula known to him did so poorly represent Messier's impression, he created a fine drawing of this Object, in order to "help to recognize it again, provided that it is not subject to change with time" (as Messier states in the introduction to his catalog).
		The past decades of research on the Orion Nebula have revealed that the visible nebula, M42, the blister of hot, photo-ionized, luminous gas around hot Trapezium stars, is only a thin layer lying on the surface of a much larger cloud of denser matter, the Orion Molecular Cloud 1 (OMC 1).

	DiscContinuity: 'Sword of Orion'
		The Orion War, a conflict between humans and android life forms is part of the recent past, its effects still being felt to the common belief that there are, apparently, no androids outside of the Orion system.
		The Orion War begins eight years previous to the events of this story, its origins in protests by androids (largely manufactured in factories in the Orion System) of mistreatment and the creation of android tribunals into such claims.
		In effect androids, along with some other genetic constructs, are outlawed from human society and returned to the place of their creation, issuing an ultimatum to the humans who lived there: accept android life forms as equals or leave.
