About Cygnus
To find my constellation you will need to find the Summer Triangle. Three stars make up the Summer Triangle, Deneb, in Cygnus, Vega, located in the constellation Lyra, and Altair, which is in the constellation Aquila. Deneb is located inside Cygnus, which is considered a swan in the mythology, at the tail, so if you ever look up into the sky and see Vega, or Lyra, you'll be able to find Deneb, which means you'll find Cygnus! Poseidon was the lord of the sea. He had a son named Cycnus that he laid on the Seashore to die. But a swan flew down to care for cycnus. Cycnus defended Troy when Achilles attacked, Achilles chocked Cycnus to death, and Poseidon grieved for his son so he turned him into a swan.

Parallax (A way to measure distance in space)
(Explain parallax in your own words) 1.Look at a star in the sky from two places. 2. Measure angular distance that the star moved. 3. Change your angle by dividing it by 1. 1/0.0721=13.87(parsecs)-> 13.87(pc) 3.262(ly) / 1(pc)=45.24(light years)
