Abstract
- The article focuses on the appearance of the summer Milky Way in April and May 2009. According to the author, numerous fields of galaxies can be seen in the evenings of April and May. It cites the existence of a quadrilateral of sky bounded by four stars, namely, Arcturus and Vega on top and Antares and Altair on the bottom lying between the galaxy fields of Virgo and the central axis of the Milky Way. It notes that the intertwined constellations Serpens and Ophiuchus took most of the space in the galaxy.
