In Kuwaits night sky, at 12 midnight you can see three bright stars in the east. They are very recognizable because they look alike and are on a strait line but slightly tilted. These three bright stars arethe “Hunter” of course he is an imaginary arch-men and these three stars represent his belt. In the naked eye you can see only the three stars but with a telescope a different image appears, a small smoky looking cloud circulates these three stars, called the orion nebula (the formation of stars) I thought of adding some images of the orion constellation and nebula taken by Hubble telescope that is in orbit circling earth each day.

 

Thats how they look with an amateur telescope
