Hello,
I would like to know what is the name of such groups of stars

http://sparon.one.pl/~arek/img/ourstars.jpg

Now it can be seen over Greece. If you help me find any information about
them, I'll be greatfull. Is it any constellation? How can I find it's
position from other points of our glob?

Regards
Arek


'Lo Arek --

This does resemble Orion's belt, sword handle, and thigh stars. If
you see these stars somewhat high in your southern sky just before
dawn, then look for the four bright stars that surround them. Also,
look for the brightest star in the sky toward the southeast of Orion.
One called "Sirius".

These days, Orion rises in Greece's sky at about 2:30 AM...
