    Do you know how I can see this beautiful constellation? I’m in Florida and I can only ever see Orion and the Pleiades. I really want to see Cygnus

    How about Alpha Camelopardalis? That deep blue supergiant, not blue-white supergiant star is O9Ia, the bluest spectral type. The distance is 6000 light years, which is the farthest constellational star, the apparent magnitude is +4.3, and has 37.6 the mass of the sun

    I am a novice stargazer and absolutely found your video Honda triangle most informative. I live in Ann Arbor Michigan and went outside to catch the Arcturus star next to the Moon and watch the video on that. And I caught your video thereafter. Also I luv your kitty cuz my kitty looks like a very close cousin of hers. (Orange white like cream color taby)Her name is: isamya cuz, she, isa Mya kitty, not yours.
    Thank You

    A more interesting summer triangle is composed of Vega, Altair, and Rasalhague, in Ophiuchus. This is close to an isosceles triangle that is due south at midnight on the summer solstice and points upward. The winter triangle, Betelgeuse, Sirius, and Procyon, form a downward pointing isosceles triangle which is due south at midnight on the winter solstice. These two triangles are also close to being the same size and the same elevation and so, if overlapped, would form the star of David. Whenever I see this hexagram I think of the two celestial triangles and their relationship with the solstices.

    Thank you for the video on Denab. It is very informative. I have come from India to San jose, USA couple of weeks back. I have been watching sky every night here and it is excellent time to watch Denab, and the triangle. Now with mobile apps it is easy to identify stars and constillations in the sky. And your videos give many other informations required to observe, study and enjoy night sky viewing.😊

    I just recently discovered your channel and I really enjoy your videos! I thought perhaps you might find something interesting. The progressive rock band Rush has a song called "Cygnus X-1" on their1977 album "A Farewell to Kings". It is actually part one of a story, with part two occurring on their next 1978 album "Hemispheres". Part 1 basically occurs towards the end of part two. Part two (Hemispheres) is a sort of mythological description of man's battle between the heart and mind, the Apollo/Dionysus duality. Well, frustrated and lost in this unresolvable conflict, humanity decides to send forth an explorer to find the gods and the answers. Hemispheres brings us up to the point where the explorer sets out on a starship called "The Rosinante". The idea is that the explorer will attempt to reach the gods by way of the black hole of Cygnus X-1. Now the song Cygnus X-1 is about that particular journey. Its like one of those movies that opens with some huge climactic cliffhanger scene, only to take you back to the events leading up to it, and then show you the outcome. The later song Hemispheres is like the backstory and the conclusion, whereas the earlier song Cygnus X-1 is the cliffhanger. Sorry for the long winded intro, but here are the lyrics of Cygnus X-1 (the whole point here is it talks about the constellation of Cygnus and the star Deneb):
    "In the constellation of Cygnus
    There lurks a mysterious, invisible force
    The black hole of Cygnus X-1
    Six stars of the Northern Cross
    In mourning for their sister's loss
    In a final flash of glory
    Nevermore to grace the night"
    [Part I 05:01-05:45]
    Invisible to telescopic eye
    Infinity, the star that would not die
    All who dare to cross her course
    Are swallowed by a fearsome force
    Through the void, to be destroyed
    Or is there something more?
    Atomized - at the core
    Or through the astral door
    To soar...
    [Part II 05:45-07:15]
    I set a course just east of Lyra
    And northwest of Pegasus
    Flew into the light of Deneb
    Sailed across the Milky Way
    On my ship, the 'Rocinante'
    Wheeling through the galaxies
    Headed for the heart of Cygnus
    Headlong into mystery
    The X-ray is her siren song
    My ship cannot resist her long
    Nearer to my deadly goal
    Until the black hole
    Gains control
    [Guitar Solo]
    [Part III 07:15-10:21]
    Spinning, whirling
    Still descending
    Like a spiral sea, unending
    Sound and fury drowns my heart
    Every nerve is torn apart...
    Give it a listen. It's intense to say the least.

    Non radial pulsation:
    "A form of pulsation in which waves run in all directions across the star's surface, as opposed to spherically symmetrical expansion and contraction (radial pulsation). There are normally multiple periods, resulting in a complex pattern of nodes and antinodes over the surface."
    Simplistic explanation for something that must be hugely complex.

      Depending on where we live the night sky looks different for all of us.
      If you live in the northern hemisphere - look vertically up in August and the summer triangle and Cygnus are right there.
      But I can't see the milky way due to light pollution.

      There is another bright star called OB2 # 12 that would be as bright as Deneb if not for intervention of interstellar dust and is further then Deneb. If you were as close to Deneb as Neptune is to the Sun you would probably need welders safety goggles for a flash glance along with solar glasses to look at the Sun.
