Milky Way In The Summer Triangle
In the summer from a dark location the milky way passes through 3 very bright stars each in their own constellations with the common name for these 3 of 'The Summer Triangle' shown in the 35 degree wide picture of the night sky. The Milky Way is the glow as we on earth look through the massive amount of stars in part of the disk of our own galaxy. A few large nebulae show up as dim red areas in the lower left including the very large 'North American Nebula' with Mexico pointing to the right.
