Tonight you will find the Summer Triangle low in the west at 7 pm. This summer asterism is seen most of the year, but summer is when we see it the best. The constellations and asterisms we use are a reminder of how the night sky can be used to track the seasons. The Summer Triangle in the west after sunset is a sign that winter is near.

The Summer Triangle is an asterism made up of the stars Altair, Deneb and Vega Image created using Stellarium.
