Summer Triangles over Japan

COSMIC MESSAGE

The Summer Triangle, formed by Vega, Deneb, and Altair, is a prominent asterism in the northern sky. It can be seen rising in the morning during early spring and nearly overhead at midnight in summer. This image from Gunma, Japan, captures the triangle over a flowering 500-year-old cherry tree, which also has a triangular shape.
