Where is orion exactly placed ?

[unity100]

Taking the entire milky way as the context, the is sun very close to Alnitak (~800lr) - the closest star in Orion's belt. We're on the same spiral arm (Orion Spur). From the sun, Orion's belt is towards the Orion nebula (~1300 ly) (the belt appears either above or below the nebula, depending on viewpoint from northern or southern hemisphere). Here are the exact relative positions:

thank you.

so, we are basically packed/placed in this orion concentration. whatever happening in our little locale, is probably indigenous to our locale. as Ra tells us that the nearby logoi tend to choose similar formats. even deneb, is right under our nose, in galactic distance scales.
