Vega, Cygnus, the Swan


remember when the tutor is showing Alexandra the star Vega? Vega is part of the Summer Traiangle, three stars that appear in the summer sky. Part of the Summer Traiangle make up the tail in the constellation Cygnus, the Swan.

That's kinda nice of you, to have noticed it. ;)
I like stargazing, but don't know the stars and the constellations all that well, so I would have never thought of it myself.

Thanks!

Thus...the title of the movie. Thank you so very much...that's interesting and very informative. Since the movie JUST ended as I'm writing this...I'm learning a bit about it. I've never seen it before today and I'm sorry to admit that. Such a wonderful cast...and cute movie...but I was a bit confused as to whom Alexandra would end up with...

Thank you for explaining that. I don't know anything about astronomy, so I wouldn't know had it not been for you. I don't think the movie explained it clearly, if it explained it at all.

And it ties in nicely with the love triangle as well. Well spotted sir/lady.
