Lyra

Lyra is a constellation in the northern sky, representing the mythological lyre or harp. It is notable for containing Vega, one of the brightest stars visible from Earth, and serves as a useful reference point for astronomers. Lyra’s significance extends to astronomy research, including the study of stars, planetary systems, and the interstellar medium. Its shape resembles a small harp or an hourglass, making it easily recognizable in the night sky. Lyra's location near the Milky Way provides rich star fields for scientific observation and amateur stargazing alike.
