Summer Triangle Along With Many Other Summer Constellations
The view of the night sky easily shows the three bright starts of the Summer Triangle (Vega, Deneb, and Altair), but it also shows many constellations. Cygnus, Lyra, and Aquila are viewable because they contain the stars of the Summer Triangle, but Equuleus, Delphinus, Sagitta, and Vulpecula are all also visible.
I chose the picture because almost every night I see the Summer Triangle and I can subsequently find Cygnus, Lyra, and Aquila. I really enjoy being able to discern which constellation is which and hopefully soon ill get a telescope that ill be able to view them all through.
Mom...if you read this, you know what to get me for Christmas.
