Lyra is a relatively small constellation, that looks like a small diamond and a
smaller diamond joined at one corner of each. It's noteworthy mainly because
of its brightest star ... Vega ... one of the brightest few "first magnitude" stars
in the sky. For those who do their stargazing between sunset and bed-time,
Lyra is visible from early Spring until Fall. Vega is the northernmost of the three
first-magnitude stars that form the giant "Summer triangle", that commands
the center of the sky overhead (from the mid-northern latitudes) from June to
August.
