Arar, Safar 04, 1448 AH corresponding to July 18, 2026, SPA - The sky of the Northern Borders region is being adorned these days with the appearance of the “Summer Triangle”, one of the most prominent astronomical landmarks in the sky of the northern hemisphere, in a scene that attracts amateur astronomers and astrophotographers, taking advantage of the clear atmosphere and low light pollution in the desert areas of the region. Member of the Astronomy and Space Club, Adnan Khalifa, explained that the Summer Triangle is not a constellation, but rather a celestial formation consisting of three of the brightest stars in the sky: Vega in Lyra, Altair in Aquila, and Deneb in Cygnus, noting that these stars appear spaced out forming a large triangle that is easily distinguishable to the naked eye after dark. He pointed out that the Summer Triangle is one of the most prominent astronomical markers of summer nights, and has been used since ancient times for direction finding and determining seasons, and also leads observers to identify a number of surrounding constellations and bright stars. He added that the region provides a suitable environment for observing this phenomenon due to the vast open areas and clear skies, where the bright band of the Milky Way can also be seen stretching near the triangle in locations away from lighting, giving observers a distinctive visual experience during summer nights. The Summer Triangle is one of the most famous stellar formations among amateur astronomers, as it appears clearly throughout the summer months, and constitutes a prominent celestial landmark that is easy to recognize without the need for specialized observation equipment. // End // 10:03 PM 0026
