Summary

Description
English: Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka, are the bright bluish stars from east to west (left to right) along the diagonal in this gorgeous cosmic vista. Otherwise known as the Belt of Orion, these three blue supergiant stars are hotter and much more massive than the Sun. They lie about 1,500 light-years away.

Deutsch: Alnitak, Alnilam und Mintaka sind - von Osten nach Westen (von links nach rechts) - die hellen, bläulichen Sterne entlang der Diagonale dieser prächtigen Aussicht. Diese drei blauen Superriesen, auch als Gürtel des Orion bekannt, sind heißer und viel massereicher als die Sonne. Sie sind 1500 Lichtjahre weit entfernt und wurden in Orions gut untersuchten interstellaren Wolken geboren.
Italiano: Alnitak, Alnilam e Mintaka sono, da est ad ovest (da sinistra a destra), le stelle più luminose di colore azzurro lungo la diagonale di questa immagine della Cintura di Orione. Le tre stelle supergiganti sono più calde e più massicce del Sole e distano circa 1500 anni luca dalla Terra.
Presso Alnitak sono visibili, inoltre, la Nebulosa Fiamma e la Nebulosa Testa di Cavallo (sulla sinistra), così come le nebulose a riflessione NGC 2023, IC 434 e IC 435. Vicino Mintaka, invece, sono visibili le nubi molecolari IC 426 e IC 423.
La posizione di altre stelle luminose presenti nel campo visivo (tra le quali σ Orionis, VV Orionis e 31 Orionis) è stata evidenziata con l'uso delle note.
