Lira
Stella più brillante: Vega
La Lira è una piccola costellazione dominata da Vega.
Quando osservarla
Visibile in estate nell'emisfero boreale.
Mitologia
Lyra is the instrument of Orpheus, the legendary musician whose songs charmed beasts and even rocks. After his death, Zeus placed his lyre among the stars, guarded by an eagle (the neighboring constellation).
Idea regalo
Vega, a summer star and one corner of the Summer Triangle (with Altair and Deneb), is ideal for marking a summer wedding or July/August birthday — when the constellation is at its peak.
