What's up tonight?

On these clear summer nights, look straight up just after dark.  The bright star you see is Vega.  Look for two other bright stars Deneb and Altair.  These three stars form the summer triangle.  Saturn is the bright object setting in the west.

For those early risers among us, look for Jupiter.  It is the bright object in the southwest.
