The Fixed Stars

Delta Lyrae

Unnamed, known by its Bayer letter. It stands at about 22° Capricorn (tropical).

A red and blue pair strung on the harp's upper corner.

Delta holds a corner of the Lyre's parallelogram and is really two stars for the eye that looks closely, one reddish and one blue-white, a pleasing contrast in binoculars. Little traditional lore attaches to this star.

Little traditional lore attaches to this star; its interest is its place in the figure.
