Vega

It is now the 7th of July of 2014. I celebrate Tanabata, the Japanese Star Festival, by watching the stars at night, on the balcony. My iPad mini's astronomy apps really help peer through the clouds. The ancient legend is about the stars Vega and Altair.

While the Duke of Alba in the Netherlands ruled with the axe of the executioner, Cervantes, in Spain, wrote his Don Quixote, and Lope de Vega, who himself held a post connected with the Inquisition, produced his admirable comedies.

That's Vega.

That bright star there is Vega.

Vega, one of the brightest stars in the northern sky, is in the constellation Lyra.

Does Vega have any planets?

Do vegans come from Vega?
