Can anyone explain what is meant by the annual "meeting" of Vega and Altair? No matter which night during the summer you observe them, they will always be the same distance apart. silsor 01:44, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What happens is that the two stars cross to one side of the Milky Way instead of being seperated by it as they usually are. --Jusenkyoguide 00:39, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Story Behind Tanabata

The first story given (The goddess losing her robes) does not appear to be the orginal myth in Japan. A Google search (as well as looking at various musems here in Nagano where the two lover's myth is very strong) has not referenced a story like that, at least in Japan. However, a myth about either a kami or an angel (Tenshi) coming down to bathe and leaving her robe on a pine tree with a Japanese man finding it is very well known (with many details/ending changed depending on the region), but not in connection to the two lovers. Anyone know where it came from?--Jusenkyoguide 03:03, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It may come from the Robe hiding story (羽衣伝説, Hagoromo-Densetsu) [ ja:羽衣伝説 ] that is one of the stories about marriage of different kinds (異類婚姻譚, irui-kon'in-tan) [ ja:異類婚姻譚 ] like as Eros and Psyche, Melusine, The Frog Prince (story) etc. --Kazov 11:15, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
