Astronomically, Orion's Belt received God's special (Northern Hemisphere-only) mention in Job 38, as one of His many foils in humbling and belittling Job and his pompous entourage:

“Can you bind the beautiful Pleiades?
Can you loose the cords of Orion?"

Both the Pleiades Cluster and Orion's cord, or belt, appear from earth to be gravitationally bound, and God here makes the fact-claim that indeed they are--four millennia ago, long before refracting or reflecting or space telescopes were even a gleam in Galileo's eye.

Of course, modern telescopes confirmed God's claim. He still scores 100%.

Thanks! It's the totality of the visions, even (or especially) when their human actors are unaware.
