| A frost-covered leaf with constellations in the background |
The sky in this picture, taken in Japan, shows many constellations, but the most prominent are Orion, Canis Major, and Taurus. Orion, the hunter, is the most recognizable, with the red supergiant Betelgeuse at its top left corner. The Bull, Taurus, is to the left of Orion, with M45, the Pleiades open star cluster to the left of that. To the lower right of Orion is the constellation Canis Major, the big dog. It's eye, the star Sirius, is the brightest star in the sky.
Tune in next week for another great APOD post!
