Now put on Orion's belt as only a toolbelt for the hammer,
as the screwdriver be an then at the entry know.
For on the from to the seat orion is as that is the facts,
Men have tools too,
for the from as the Pi is the compass of what is that missing,
Blunt did not show and now I have the ability to cue.
Thanks for the Plato rum as a Pirate on the Ship of a Viking crumb,
belly with that whale and shale to what is a stone on the stars and belts,
galaxy at the atmosphere to the mach five of just a light year for the broken crumb,
Pi is the number of the Cosmos and Men were the back that gave sight to Ayes of grass,
may wheat sway and creeks bass!!

Orion's Belt
Orion's Belt or the Belt of Orion, also known as the Three Kings or Three Sisters, is an asterism in the constellation Orion. It consists of the three bright stars Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka.
Looking for Orion's Belt in the night sky is the easiest way to locate Orion in the sky. The stars are more or less evenly spaced in a straight line, and so can be visualized as the belt of the hunter's clothing. They are best visible in the early night sky during the Northern Winter/Southern Summer, in particular the month of January at around 9:00 pm.[1]
The names of the three stars come from Arabic; Alnilam (النظام) means "string of pearls" or is related to the word nilam (“sapphire”); with the spellings Alnihan and Alnitam[2], all three variants are evidently mistakes in transliteration or copy errors.[3]
Mintaka (منطقة) meanwhile has the same root as Alnitak (النطاق), and both mean "belt".[citation needed]

Alnitak is pronounced ALL-nit-ahk. Alnitak (Zeta Orionis, 50 Ori) is a triple star system at the eastern end of Orion's belt, and is 817 light-years from the Earth. It has 100,000 times the luminosity of the Sun. Considering ultraviolet light, its luminosity comes out at 250,000 times that of the Sun. The primary (Alnitak A) is itself a close binary, comprising Alnitak Aa (a blue supergiant of spectral and luminosity type O9.7 Ibe, with an absolute magnitude of -5.25 and an apparent magnitude of 2.0) and Alnitak Ab (a blue dwarf of spectral and luminosity type O9V, with an absolute magnitude of about -3.0 and an apparent magnitude of about 4, discovered in 1998). Aa is estimated as being up to 28 times as massive as the Sun, and to have a diameter 20 times greater. It is the brightest star of class O in the night sky. Alnitak B is a 4th-magnitude B-type star which orbits Alnitak A every 1,500 years. A fourth star, 9th-magnitude Alnitak C, has not been confirmed to be part of the Aa-Ab-B group, and may simply lie along the line of sight.
Alnilam[edit]
Alnilam (Epsilon Orionis, 46 Ori) is approximately 1,340 light-years away from Earth and shines with magnitude 1.70. Considering ultraviolet light Alnilam is 375,000 times more luminous than the Sun.[4] It is a large blue supergiant star in the constellation of Orion. Its Flamsteed designation is 46 Orionis.
It is the 29th-brightest star in the sky and the fourth-brightest in Orion.
Since 1943, the spectrum of this star has served as one of the stable anchor points by which other stars are classified. It is also one of the 57 stars used in celestial navigation. It is at its highest point in the sky around midnight on December 15.
Alnilam's relatively simple spectrum has made it useful for studying the interstellar medium. Within the next million years, this star may turn into a red supergiant and explode as a supernova. It is surrounded by a molecular cloud, NGC 1990, which it brightens to make a reflection nebula. Its stellar winds may reach up to 2000 km/s, causing it to lose mass about 20 million times more rapidly than the Sun.
Mintaka[edit]
Mintaka (Delta Orionis, 34 Ori) is 915 light-years away and shines with magnitude 2.21. Mintaka is 90,000 times more luminous than the Sun. Mintaka is a double star. The two stars orbit around each other every 5.73 days.[5]
References in history and culture[edit]
The same three stars are known in Spain, Portugal and South America as Las Tres Marías. They also mark the northern night sky when the Sun is at its lowest point, and were a clear marker for ancient timekeeping. In the Philippines and Puerto Rico, they are called the Los Tres Reyes Magos.[7] The stars start appearing in early January around the time of Epiphany, the Christian holiday commemorating the visit of the Magi to the Child Jesus.
Richard Hinckley Allen lists many folk names for the Belt of Orion. English ones include: Jacob's Rod or Jacob’s Staff; Peter's Staff; the Golden Yard-arm; The L, or Ell; The Ell and Yard; the Yard-stick, and the Yard-wand; the Ellwand; Our Lady's Wand; the Magi / the Three Kings; the Three Marys; or simply the Three Stars.[8]
The passage "Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?" is found in the Bible's Book of Job[9] and Book of Amos.[10]
In Finnish mythology, the Orion's belt is called Väinämöisen vyö (Väinämöinen's Belt). The stars which appear to "hang" off the belt form an asterism called Kalevanmiekka (Kaleva's sword).
Tennyson's poem The Princess describes Orion's belt as:
