==The stars of the Summer Triangle== Both Altair and Vega are bluish-white, rapidly-rotating A-type main sequence stars in the local neighbourhood of the sun. However, Deneb is a white supergiant star over 100 times as distant, and one of the most luminous stars in the entire galaxy. {| class="wikitable" !Name !Constellation ![[Apparent magnitude]] !Luminosity<br/>({{solar luminosity|link=y}}) ![[Stellar classification|Spectral type]] !Distance<br/>([[light year]]s) !Radius<br/>({{solar radius|link=y}}) |- ![[Vega]] |[[Lyra]]||0.03||52||A0 V||25||2.36 to 2.82 |- ![[Deneb]] |[[Cygnus (constellation)|Cygnus]]||1.25||200,000||A2 Ia||3550||203 Β± 17 |- ![[Altair]] |[[Aquila (constellation)|Aquila]]||0.77||10||A7 V||16.6||1.63 to 2.03 |}
