Lira
Estrela mais brilhante: Vega
A Lira é uma pequena constelação dominada por Vega.
Quando observá-la
Visível no verão do hemisfério norte.
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).
Ideia de presente
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.
