Essay, Research Paper: Lyra-The Star

LYRA
A pale blue light in the lower part of Lyra shines the Th brightest star in the sky, Vega. This brightest star of Lyra is moderately above Caster and below Regulas in the Hertzpring-Russell diagram. It is between spectral classes B and A and between 10 and 100 times the real brightness of the sun. Vega ignites it's reign sky with it's intensity and accents the musical constellation it is contained within.
The Roman's harp-star of the northern hemisphere shines together with Deneb and Altair to make the Summer Triangle. It's location in the sky is quite easily found as it is the brightest of Lyra which is just above Hercules. Looking south in July will allow you the most ease in locating it, as it is almost overhead and near the center. If you use a star chart to help in finding it, as I said it is near HERCULES in LYRA and is the brightest star shown as a large star shaped object, on the star chart it will easily be sighted by the name Vega written next to it.
If your sense of direction is legendary you will have no problem finding this legendary star. Al-Waki or "The Falling" is the Arabic name for Vega, to the Greeks Lyra belonged to Orpheus who animated and inanimate objects and even the Lord of Death with his music. But most interesting of all in India it is also called Abhijit in Rg Veda and is associated with the creator. Yes, to the Hindu religion Abhijit is an infinitely important character recorded as the "the Truth of 12,000 years B.C." in the Mahabharat. Mahrshi Vyras recorded, in a section called Vana Parva, a dialog between Indra and Skandra. An excerpt from this is included as wretched attempt to waste space:
"Contesting against Abhijit, the constellation Krittika (Pliedes) went to Vana' the summer solstice to heat the summer. Then the star Abhijit slipped down the sky. At the time Dhanishta was given the first place in the list of Nakshatras. Rohini was also the first some time back. Now you decide what to do," said Indra.
If this is confusing to you (I couldn't understand why, it's much more understandable than any other text I've ever read) I will explain as best I can:
the conversation clearly states that when Indra went to Summer Solstice, Vega started falling down.
This may seem like a strange idea but, in fact, in the year 12,000 years B.C. Vega had dropped from it's high position in the sky and become a pole star. Krittikas were at the Summer Solstice from 21,800 to 20,840 B.C. After this simple explanation of the obvious I'd like to switch to the last of the star Vega that I can find. Stars are named in many ways, the one that allows the most ease to locate is the method of giving the constellation's name in the Latin possessive and the brightness of the star compared to the others in the constellation by designating Greek letters to each one in alphabetical order from brightest to dimmest. Using this method the name of Vega is Lyrea alpha or Lyrea a.
To put an end to this name-calling I finish my paper with a final statement:
weather called Lyrea a, Abhijit, Al-Waki, a star in the lyre of Orpheus, the harp-star, or just Vega, this star is I bright part of our night sky and an interesting object to study for the novice astronomer looking for knowledge or the advanced astronomer wish to find the history of an amazing stellar body.
