To find the constellation Lyra, first find the cup of the Big Dipper, then look towards the cup of the Little Dipper, and keep going about two more distances. You should see a pair of fairly bright stars, Deneb and Vega. The constellation Lyra will be tucked in right under Vega. The article points out other constellations you can easily find in our northern skies. Most of these constellations should be findable even in town.
