I take a quick look through the eyepiece to make sure Albireo is centered, sure enough my new friend has it almost dead centered. Take a look through the eyepiece and tell me what you see. I see two stars, ones really blue and the others kind of red. That's because Albireo is a double star. It is two suns that orbit around each other like the Earth orbits around the Sun.
All stars have different temperatures.
If you heated up a metal rod in a fire, it would go from red, then orange and yellow and finally white. Stars are the same way, the red ones are cooler then the blue or white ones. Wow, I really understood that. Yes, its above Cygnus. But to find what we're looking for next, We will need a chart that shows a smaller section of the sky.
