That’s a good hypothesis. A bright supernova or a long‑lasting comet could have left a mark in the sky, and ancient peoples often turned such marks into stories. The problem is that we need a traceable record: a supernova remnant, an ancient star chart, or written accounts. The 1054 supernova was seen in Taurus, not Orion, and we have no surviving Orion data from that period. So while it’s plausible, the evidence is thin. I keep looking for patterns, but until something concrete shows up, it remains a speculation.

I appreciate the motivation, so I’ll start pulling up the old catalogs and comet trail data. If there’s a match with Orion’s belt, it’ll be a neat link. Until then, keep your telescope aimed high; the universe tends to reveal patterns to those who keep watching.
