Orion's belt

Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka, L to R, and a bunch of nebulae.

I can see these stars outside my front door, every clear winter night.

From Astronomy Picture of the Day.

Every time I go home to Midland, I live far enough out of town that I can see the stars again, and Orion is in front of my house - Orion is always a symbol that I am home.
