Orion is a constellation that most people recognize. This particular formation of the stars is only visible from earth. Each of its stars is located on an enormous distance from us, ranging from 243 to 1342 light years. This sculpture is a three-dimensional interpretation of the constellation. It visualizes what we might see if we were able to travel around it. The size of the stars (spheres) varies according to light intensity. The proportions of the sculpture are an interpretation of light year distance from earth and the optical distances seen from earth
