False! Orion Belt.

Orion’s Belt along the three bright stars in a straight line is one of the most obvious feature seen in constellation of Orion. One can easily look at these stars nowadays in the direction of west after sunset from India.

Most of the people who watch cricket call them “Wickets” !

Above picture is a false image of Orion belt, which resembles the Orion Belt under long exposure. This picture is basically the firework captured during the Deepavali Festival!

Tomorrow’s picture – Mars, Jupiter and Scorpius.
