Vega - 6th Brightest Star
Vega is the brightest star in the Summer Triangle asterism and the 5th brightest star in Earth's night sky. It is the second brightest star in the Northern Hemisphere summertime time sky. Part of the constellation Lyra, Vega resides at 25 light years distant and sits along Earth's circle of precession, meaning that Vega has been and will be again the north pole star. -Scott
