November Nights Still Show Off The Summer Triangle Above You
• The Summer Triangle, composed of Vega, Deneb, and Altair, remains visible in the Northern Hemisphere's western sky after sunset through November.
• This asterism, not a constellation, serves as a seasonal guide, gradually setting in the west as the winter constellation Orion rises in the east.
• The Summer Triangle is easily visible even in moderately light-polluted areas, making it an accessible starting point for stargazers.
Summer Triangle visible well into November nights
Even as the nights grow longer and colder, the celestial beacon known as the Summer Triangle continues to grace the skies of the Northern Hemisphere. Composed of the bright stars Vega, Deneb, and Altair, this asterism remains visible well into November and even as winter approaches. Look westward after sunset, and you'll find the Summer Triangle shining high above, a reminder of warmer months gone by.
