At around the zenith in autumn night sky, a tiny constellation of Lacerta, the Lizard, is bathing half the body in the Milky Way.
It is squeezed between Cygnus and Andromeda. The constellation is formed by connecting fine stars about fourth or fifth magnitudes in zigzag, established by Hevelius in 1690. He made this little reptile to fill up the void in the sky; naturally enough, the constellation has neither myths nor legends. But it contains some beautiful open star clusters and diffused nebulae because of facing to the fine Milky Way. |
