Orion


I watche It! the Terror From Beyond Space 1958 on Svengoole on MeTV last night, sat. 02-05-2022, and I noticed that the space scenes the dots representing the stars were too large, making the sky look too bright.

I also noticed the same three stars in several shots of the spaceship in space. They were in the right side of the image, and were three stars in a line, slanted from lower lef tto upper right.

They reminded me of the three stars in Orion's belt. So the next time I looked and thought that I saw the four stars that are the shoulders of Orion.

Here is a link to an image of the spaceship in space:

And here is a link to an image of the constellation Orion. To the lower left of Orion is Canis Major, including Sirius, the brightest star seen from Earth, which also appears in the image of the spaceship.:

The constellation Monceros should be behind the spaceship, and Gemini more or less above it. And Aldebaran in Taurus should be the bright star to the upper right of Orion.

The constellations to the left of the spaceship should be Hydra, Cancer, and Leo, but I don't recognize them in the image.

I’ve always thought that was Orion that was seen in several shots.
