Orion constellation is a very famous constellation. It can be seen throughout the earth. Orion looks like a warrior with a weapon and skirt. I see this constellation daily and wonder, if there is a planet there.

Yes, there are exo-planets discovered in the Orion constellation, for instance, the stars HD 37605 and HD 38529 both have two known planets.
HD 38858 is also interesting, as it has a known planet, and also a disk of comets.

$\begingroup$ Well, HD 38858b is within the habitable zone, but it is 32 Earth masses. Small planets like Earth are incredibly difficult to detect. $\endgroup$ Feb 5, 2016 at 7:31
