EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of the summer triangle in the night sky. Comprising three prominent constellations - Cygnus, Lyra, and Aquila - this celestial formation has long fascinated astronomers and stargazers alike. At the top left corner of the image, we find Cygnus, also known as the Swan constellation. Its most brilliant star, Deneb (alpha Cygni), shines brightly against a backdrop of countless other stars. Moving towards the upper center right, we encounter Lyra, represented by its principal star alpha Lyrae or Vega. This radiant beacon illuminates its surroundings with an ethereal glow. Finally, at the bottom left corner lies Aquila, symbolized by alpha Aquilae or Altair. With its distinct brightness and prominence within this cosmic trio, Altair adds a touch of grandeur to this already awe-inspiring composition. The summer triangle is renowned for housing these three magnificent stars that dominate their respective constellations. Together they form a celestial masterpiece that graces our skies during warm summer nights. This remarkable print from Science Photo Library captures not only the scientific significance but also the sheer magnificence of these stellar bodies.
