Constellation Orion, the Hunter, and Sirius, the brightest star of the night sky, shine over Fischbacher Alpen, near Alpine village of Krieglach in Austria. The three bright stars in this view (Sirius, Procyon, and Betelgeuse at Orion's shoulder) form a large prominent asterism known as the Winter Triangle.
