Orion is setting


For the longest time I didn't know why I only see the constellation Orion in winter. Where is it in the summer? Below the horizon??

Finally figured it out. I was out with the dog just now, an hour or so after sunset, and Orion was setting in the western sky. That means it was up in the sky in the daytime. It didn't go anywhere. It was right there. But I couldn't see it because of the daylight.

So, that question is finally answered.
