By November 1991, Orion's losses had continued to mount, and its debt had reached $ 690 million.

By December, the stake in Orion's ownership was increased to 9. 3 % to 12. 6 % and on April 12, 1988, to 44. 1 % On May 20, 1988, Metromedia acquired Sumner Redstone's share for $ 78 million, holding a majority stake in Orion Pictures worth nearly 67 %.

Several rocket designs using this reaction were proposed, ones using all-fission for interplanetary missions, and others using fission-fusion ( effectively a very small version of Orion's bombs ) for interstellar ones.

Dogs associated with various incarnations of Dionysos, as well as with Orion's dog ( Sirius ), were regarded as the discoverers, or bearers, of the first grapevine, this was probably because Sirius rose in the period of the vines blossoming, shortly before harvest.

Orion's interest in Filmways stemmed from the company's library of 500 films ( largely inherited from American International Pictures, which Filmways had bought a few years before ) as well as its distribution operation and its library of well-remembered TV shows from the late 1960s, such as Green Acres, Mister Ed and The Addams Family ( two other Filmways productions, The Beverly Hillbillies and Petticoat Junction were owned by CBS ).

Given that Orion's assets did not seem to merit the price paid, and that control of the company would have remained in friendly hands even without the buyout of Redstone, Wall Street observers were puzzled by Kluge's expenditure.

On one occasion, when he and some of the other Leaguers were abducted by the apparently insane Adam Strange as part of a plot to defeat a telepathic race, Steel was forced to steal Orion's Mother Box and use it as a telepathic shield ; Orion was so enraged that the Mother Box was devoting too much energy to keeping him calm to do anything else.

Two of the stars of Orion's Belt were considered to be the emissaries of the Moon.

initial claims regarding the alignment of the Giza pyramids with Orion ("… the three pyramids were a terrestrial map of the three stars of Orion's belt "— Hancock's Fingerprints of the Gods, 1995, p. 375 ) are later joined with speculation about the age of the Great Sphinx ( Hancock and Bauval, Keeper of Genesis, published 1996, and in 1997 in the U. S. as The Message of the Sphinx ).

In 1983 Edwards stated that Bauval had made a " convincing case " that the Giza pyramids were a representation of Orion's belt.

* The Orion's Arm online project features the Machina Babbagenseii, fully sentient Babbage inspired mechanical computers.

It is located below the constellation Orion ( the hunter ), and is sometimes represented as a hare being chased by Orion or, alternatively, by Orion's hunting dogs.

In the last few years, sites have appeared such as Orion's Arm and Galaxiki, which encourage collaborative development of science fiction universes.

The Exploration Flight Test-1 ( EFT-1 ), an unmanned test flight of Orion's crew module, is planned to be launched in 2014 on a Delta IV Heavy rocket.

The Vulcan homeworld, also named Vulcan, was mentioned in the original series, episode " The City on the Edge of Forever " ( 1967 ) to be orbiting the far left star of Orion's belt, i. e. Alnitak, and in the script-adaptation anthology Star Trek 2, author James Blish put the planet in orbit around the star 40 Eridani A, 16 light years from Earth, an identification later adopted by Roddenberry.

There the rays of Helios restored Orion's sight.

Its plot is uncertain, whether the blinding of Orion by Oenopion and the satyrs on Chios, probably with Cedalion offstage and prophesied, or the recovery of Orion's sight on Lemnos.

The most well known story of Oenopion is the one that deals with him receiving the famous giant hunter Orion as a guest, with Orion's subsequent attempt to violate his daughter.

In revenge, Oenopion stabbed out Orion's eyes, and then threw him off the island.

Cedalion guided him east, where the rising sun restored Orion's sight.

Some speak of him as Orion's natural father ; others relate that he was childless and a widower and became ( technically ) adoptive father of Orion via the following circumstances.

The Orion Nebula ( also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976 ) is a diffuse nebula situated south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion.

It is seen as the middle " star " in the sword of Orion, which are the three stars located south of Orion's Belt.

There has been speculation that the Mayans of Central America may have described the nebula within their " Three Hearthstones " creation myth ; if so, the three would correspond to two stars at the base of Orion, Rigel and Saiph, and another, Alnitak at the tip of the " belt " of the imagined hunter, the vertices of a nearly perfect triangle with Orion's Sword ( including the Orion Nebula ) in the middle seen as the smudge of smoke from copal incense in a modern myth, or, in ( the translation it suggests of ) an ancient one, the literal or figurative embers of a fiery creation.

In July 2011, Orion Publishing Group announced that the third edition of the encyclopedia would be released online later that year by ESF Ltd in association with Victor Gollancz, Orion's science fiction imprint.

During the 1980s, Orion's output included Woody Allen films, Hollywood blockbusters such as the first Terminator and the RoboCop films, comedies such as Throw Momma from the Train, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Something Wild and the Bill & Ted films, and best picture Academy Award winners Amadeus, Platoon, Dances with Wolves, and The Silence of the Lambs.

In the Darkseid Vs. Galactus crossover, Silver Surfer was able to delay the Racer when it came to claim Orion, giving Orion's Mother Box time to heal his injuries.
