Hi @utopia
I know what you're talking about - it's part of the constellation called Orion or the Hunter and it has a lot of mythology attached to it
It rises in the east in the evening at this time of year and as the summer continues it is high in the sky during the evenings
The three stars are called The best of Orion and the three small "stars" nearby make up his sword
And there are four stars around these that make up the points of the hunter
I will hunt around on the net and see if I can find a picture or a photo of the stars
I love looking - I started getting serious about astromomy about 25 years ago and this is one of my hobbies - things change every year so it's worth looking
The weather has just changed dramatically here - we have a gale blowing from the north west - possibly preceeding a change - and it is getting hot when it was a cool wet morning
All the best
