Which constellation is called the Northern Cross?

Cygnus is completely immersed in the white Milky Way, standing on both sides of the Milky Way with Aquila and Lyra. The three main stars (alpha star) of these three constellations form a big triangle (summer triangle). Cygnus is located at 20: 30 right ascension and 44 declination. The area is 804 square degrees. There are 19 1 stars in the constellation with visual magnitude greater than 6, and 22 of them have brightness greater than 4. Therefore, in the summer night sky, although the Milky Way is like a veil and full of stars, it is not difficult to find Cygnus, which can still shine in the Milky Way. Appearance features The main stars of Cygnus are arranged in a big cross, so it used to be called the "Northern Cross". It's easy to imagine the cross as a swan. A long vertical cross is a swan's long neck and its wings are spread horizontally.
