The Northern Cross is an asterism located in the constellation of Cygnus. It is formed by five bright stars that outline a cross shape, making it easily recognizable in the night sky. The stars that make up the Northern Cross include Deneb, Sadr, Gienah, Fawaris, and Biham. This asterism is prominent in the northern hemisphere during summer and fall. The Northern Cross serves as a useful guide for stargazers, helping them locate other celestial objects, such as the Milky Way and nearby constellations like Lyra and Aquila.
