The Down East Journal

Carolina Skies: Orion Constellation

PRE News & Ideas | By Jared Brumbaugh

Published March 14, 2016 at 1:52 PM EDT

We begin a new monthly astronomy segment on Down East Journal called Carolina Skies. We'll be talking about what you can spot in the night sky, from constellations and planets to nebulas and galaxies. Our host is Byron Mumaw, president of the Carolina Skies Astronomy Club. His fascination with astronomy began at an early age reading "Sky and Telescope" magazine and has turned, over the years, into a lifelong passion. Today, Byron tells us about one of the most recognizable constellations in the Carolina sky.
