What constellations are Altair and Vega?

Altair is located in the constellation Eagle, silvery white, on the east bank of the Milky Way. Vega, located in Lyra, is an oblate star on the west coast of the Milky Way. Vega is the brightest star in Lyra. It is pale pink at the North Pole and blue and white at the equator.

When enjoying the cool outdoors in summer night, you can see a bright star overhead and four small stars beside it, like weaving shuttles, that is Vega. Opposite the Milky Way, there is a bright star in the southeast and a small star on each side, namely the Altair, which faces Vega across the river.

ancient mythology

In Greek mythology, Vega was called Lyra, which means lyre, hence the name Lyra. It is said that the owner of this lyre is Hercus, the most famous hero in Greek mythology. He is versatile and versatile, and has made twelve great achievements. Hercules is Hercules, and Lila is close to Hercules.

Another view is that Lyra is orpheus's harp and Vega is the handle of the harp. In Roman mythology, the starting point of autumn is based on the time when Vega rises from the horizon at a specific moment.
