August marks the beginning of the end of Summer and as the nights draw in, high overhead you can pick out the Summer Triangle - three bright stars that belong to three different constellations: Vega in Lyra the Lyre, Deneb in Cygnus the Swan and Altair in Aquila the Eagle. Follow the Milky Way down through Cygnus, Aquila and on to Sagittarius the Archer. Here you are looking towards the heart of the galaxy. Further up and to the West are the twin figures of Ophiuchus and Hercules head to head in the sky and both hunting grounds for globular clusters |
