In which constellation is Vega located?

The legend about Vega is something that all Chinese people have heard since childhood. Vega represents the ancient people's yearning for free love. So does Vega exist? If there is a Vega, in which constellation is it located?

According to astronomical data, Vega is the brightest star in the Lyra constellation and ranks fifth in the night sky. It is the third brightest star in the Northern Hemisphere, after Sirius and Arcturus.

Vega, like Arcturus and Sirius, is very close to the Earth, only 25.3 light-years away from the Earth. It is also one of the brightest stars near the Sun. However, Vega is only one-tenth the age of the Sun, and its mass is 2.2 times that of the Sun, so its lifespan is also only one-tenth that of the Sun. In ancient Han mythology, the Weaver Girl is the granddaughter of the Emperor of Heaven.

Niece was the northern hemisphere's pole star around 12,000 BC and will be the pole star again in 12,727 BC. Niece was the first star other than the Sun to be photographed, the first to have its spectrum recorded, and one of the first stars for which parallax measurements were made.

The Origin of the Vega Myth

Vega is in the constellation Lyra, and it is also the brightest star in that constellation, called Alpha Lyra; while Altair is located in the constellation Aquila, and it is also the brightest star in that constellation, called Alpha Aquila.
In the same constellation, there are two constellations, β and γ, which are parallel to Altair but slightly dimmer. These two constellations were imagined by the imaginative ancient working people as the two children of Altair.
The Cowherd and his two children are on the east bank of the Milky Way, while the Vega is on the first bank of the Milky Way. According to legend, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet on the Magpie Bridge on the seventh day of the seventh month every year, but the two stars are 16 light years apart, so it will be a long time before they meet.
