Overview of summer starry sky

When Vega cruises south along the shore of the Milky Way, she can see a bright red star-Antares (Scorpio α), which forms an S-shaped curve with more than a dozen stars. This is the famous Scorpio in summer, and its tail is immersed in the dense part of the Milky Way.

From Altair to the south along the Milky Way, you can find Sagittarius, six of which form the "Southern Dou Six Stars", which is far opposite to the Big Dipper in the northwest sky. The Milky Way in Sagittarius is the widest and brightest. Because this is the direction of the center of the galaxy.

There are four small stars on the lower left of Altair, forming a diamond. These stars belong to the dolphin constellation. From the dolphin constellation to the northeast, there is a larger constellation called Cygnus. It is mainly composed of six stars in a big cross. Ancient Greek mythology imagined it as a swan flying low over the Milky Way. The bright star at the tail of the swan is called Tianjin IV.

The connection between Vega and Altair continues to extend to the southeast, and Capricorn composed of dark stars can be found. Patrol southwest along the connection between Tianjin Sihe and Vega, and you will find Wuxian. In the west of Wuxian, there are seven small stars in a semicircle, which is the beautiful northern crown.
