The Autumn Sky A Remnant of Summer

After dominating the sky for many months, the Summer Triangle now makes only a limited appearance; you can still spot it if you go out early enough.

The triangle is made up of Vega in the constellation Lyra, Deneb in Cygnus, and Altair in Aquila. These three stars are the brightest of their respective constellations.

The Northern Cross, with Deneb at the top, is now almost upright, but it sets soon after darkness falls.
