What constellation does Vega belong to?

Vega belongs to Lyra, the main star of Lyra and the brightest star of Lyra, about 25? Light years.

Vega is the fifth brightest star in the night sky and the second brightest star in the northern hemisphere, second only to arcturus. Like Sirius and arcturus, it is one of the brightest stars near the sun, about 25 light-years away from the Earth. In summer in the northern hemisphere, most observers can see Vega with naked eyes near the zenith. Because of precession, Vega was the north star in the northern hemisphere around BC 12000, and will become the north star again in AD 14000, when the declination will reach +86 14'.

Vega is the first star photographed by photography and recorded by spectrum after the sun, and it is also one of the first stars to estimate the distance by parallax measurement. It used to be the calibration baseline of photometric brightness scale and one of the stars used by UBV photometric system to define the average value.

Vega in China culture;

There is a Tanabata story in China mythology, which tells that Cowherd (Hegu II) and his two children (Hegu I and Hegu III) are separated from their mother, Weaver I, and two four-star Weaver II and III near it form a regular triangle, which is collectively called Weaver Samsung by the Milky Way.

But magpies build a bridge on the Milky Way every year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, so that cowherd and weaver girl can meet each other briefly. A stone statue of Han Dynasty was unearthed in Nanyang, Henan Province, with a white tiger as the center, Vega carved in front of the white tiger and Altair carved behind it. The image of the Altair is that a farmer leads a cow, and the three stars on the cow are the three stars of the river drum. Weaver, sitting in a high bun, surrounded by four stars.

It is also based on this legend that Tanabata called the Weaver Girl "Weaver Girl".
