	Summer Triangle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Summer Triangle is an astronomical asterism involving an imaginary triangle drawn on the northern hemisphere's celestial sphere, with its defining vertices at Altair, Deneb, and Vega.
		The Summer Triangle lies virtually overhead at mid-northern latitudes during the summer months, but can also be seen during spring in the early morning.
		In the autumn the summer triangle is visible in the evening well until November.

		Although classed as a white star, like the other two stars of the Summer Triangle, Altair always appears blue to me. Altair is fairly easy to identify because it is closely flanked by the 2nd and 3rd brightest stars in the constellation (Alshain and Tarazed), each about a degree away.
		The eastern most star of the Summer Triangle is Deneb in the constellation Cygnus the Swan.
		The third apex of the Summer Triangle is formed by the star Vega in the constellation Lyra, the Lyre or ancient harp.

		This huge, nearly isosceles triangle is composed of three of the brightest stars in the sky, each the brightest star in its own constellation.
		The Summer Triangle is one of the favorite parts of the sky for most sky watchers, perhaps because of its sheer simplicity in contrast to overabundance of bright stars found in the wintertime sky.
		Moreover, since this area of the sky is far removed from the zodiac, where the bright planets roam, it does not have any strange "stars" temporarily altering its familiar pattern, as Saturn has done to Gemini over the past couple of years.
