Orion confronts Taurus. In the sky, Orion is depicted facing the snorting charge of neighbouring Taurus the Bull, yet the myth of Orion makes no reference to such a combat.

Taurus was GUD AN-NA, bull of heaven. Orion The Hunter, The Sky At Night, Stars Constellations, Celestial Map, Million Stars, Tattoo New, Sky At Night, Constellation Tattoo, Ancient Knowledge
