Observation of the Cygnus constellation

Visualize in real time the position of the Cygnus constellation in the sky.

General presentation

The Cygnus constellation is one of the most spectacular constellations of the summer sky in the northern hemisphere. Crossed by the Milky Way, it contains many stars, nebulae and deep sky objects. It is also known for its star Deneb, which forms the Summer Triangle with Vega and Altaïr.

Shape of the Cygnus constellation

The constellation of Cygnus is easily recognizable thanks to its large shape; this figure represents a swan in flight, with Deneb marking the tail, Albireo the head, and the two wings spread on either side.
