The Summer Triangle
As dusk deepens into night in early June, look a bit north of east, not real high in the sky, for a sparkling blue-white star, whose name is Vega.
Krista wasn't the only one inspired that summer to dream and explore. She and I would stare at Mars, visible just above the roofline of our cabin at dusk. She would talk about her rock "from Mars," and I would talk about being an astronaut.
However, the three prominent bright stars high overhead in the early Summer evening in the Northern temperate zones are called 'The Summer Triangle'. These are Altair, Deneb, and Vega.
ESO's new Cryogenic High-Resolution Infrared Echelle Spectrograph (CRIRES), which yielded the first infrared analysis of Triton's atmosphere, shows that summer is in full swing in the moon's southern hemisphere.

SUMMER SOLSTICE
The solstices are days when the Sun reaches its farthest northern and southern declinations. The winter solstice occurs on December 21 and marks the beginning of winter (this is the shortest day of the year).
Summer is warmer than winter (in each hemisphere) because the Sun's rays hit the Earth at a more direct angle during summer than during winter and also because the days are much longer than the nights during the summer.
Summer time in Southern Ontario usually produces very hazy and murky skies, which means the sky transparency is much worse than at any other time of the year.

Due to the angle of the planet's axis, the poles are subjected to 42 years of savage winter followed by a summer of the same length where they face the Sun.
SOLSTICE - Position of the sun when farthest north (summer solstice) or farthest south (winter solstice). The solstices occur because the rotation axis of the Earth is tilted by an angle of 23.5° from the vertical.
The two points on the ecliptic which are farthest away from the equator are the summer solstice and winter solstice.
