Orion’s Belt! Two bright stars to the right of that is Orion’s sword, and the ones to the right of that are his two legs. If you draw a rectangular box up from his legs (at a diagonal) to the left of the belt is Orion’s shoulder, which is a star called Betelgeuse.

Actually the sword consists of 3 “stars” (the middle one is not a star)
