Description

Astronomy meets myth: Orion was a giant who hunted in the company of Artemis. One day he saw the Pleiades, seven sisters daughters of Atlas, and began to pursue them. They fled so quickly that they were turned into stars. Orion was later killed, either by mistake or jealousy, by Artemis during a hunt. The goddess, then repentant of her gesture, turned Orion into a constellation, which, even in heaven, seems to chase the Pleiades (which are located in the constellation Taurus).
