Upper Hunter? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orion

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'upper' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.

'hunter?' is the second definition.
(constellation)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for orion that I've seen before include "Constellation that includes Betelgeuse" , "hero" , "Constellation with seven bright stars" , "Group in heaven" , "His belt is in the heavens" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
