Eye on the Night Sky

Saturday, June 20, 2026

Today:
At 11 PM, look for the bluish-white star Vega, high in the east. It is also known as Alpha Lyrae, the brightest star in Lyra, the Harp, as well as being the highest star in the Summer Triangle, Altair and Deneb. Appearing lower in the sky is perhaps a little strange for these two stars, as each is the brightest star within a constellation denoting a bird: The Eagle, in the case of Altair; and The Swan, in the case of Deneb.
