The Fixed Stars

Nu Orionis

Nu Orionis, 67 Orionis

Unnamed, known by its Bayer letter. It stands at about 26° Gemini (tropical).

A faint mark on the raised club, high above the Hunter's shoulder.

Little traditional lore attaches to this star; its interest is its place in the raised club of the figure.
