What constellations are there in summer?

Summer is a good time to see the stars. Look west after dark, and you will find Leo. To the east of Leo is Virgo.

In the south of the sky, a bright red star shines in the lower sky. It is the main star of Scorpio, Antares, and a bright star on the ecliptic. The obvious feature of Scorpio is that there are three stars scattered in an arc at equal intervals, and Antares is just at the center of the circle. In ancient astronomy in China, Scorpio belongs to the upper star and Orion belongs to the Canxing. Just a rise and a fall, never meet, so a poet said: "It is almost as difficult for friends to meet each other as the stars in the morning and evening."

To the east of Scorpio is Sagittarius, and in the eastern half of Sagittarius, there are six stars, called Nandou.

In the starry sky around Scorpio and Sagittarius, there is a white band of light, which is the Milky Way. Looking northeast along the Milky Way, you can see a quadrangle next to Vega, and Altair has two small stars. The bright star that forms a triangle with these two bright stars is Tianjin IV. It forms a cross with other stars in Cygnus, which is easy to identify.

At this time, the Big Dipper is in the northwest sky. After finding the constellation Capricorn, to the east, almost to the zenith, there is a semicircle constellation called Beiguan, just like a jewel-encrusted crown, where a large number of galaxies gather.
