But Orion is just one of many distinct constellations standing out this season. Without question the best of them is Orion, comprised of three fairly bright stars in a row making up the belt, and two very bright stars, one red, (Betelgeuse), and one blue, (Rigel). Needless to say, the winter has plenty of beautiful stars and constellations. So there are a lot of super bright stars within a close proximity. One reason for this is because when facing out of the Milky Way, we look directly into the Orion arm, a close region of star birth. Among the top ten brightest stars that can be seen North of 30 degrees, 6 of them are primary winter stars, with 2 for the Summer, and 2 spring stars.Īnd on top of the stars of the winter being intrinsically brighter, they also appear to shine more due to the lack of humidity that comes with cooler air.īut again, the winter stars are also just intrinsically brighter.
The Winter is definitely not lacking in impressive constellations and bright stars. And the Winter happens to contain some of the best things out there. Non winter oriented trees will become completely leaf-less, rain turns to snow, and the air is cool.īut something else also changes as we enter this time of the year, the sky shifts around throughout the year to have different things show up at certain times. As everything transitions into the dark and cold season we will see many changes. Winter has firmly settled upon the Northern Hemisphere.
