It was identified in the seventeenth century, and is located in the middle of the Summer Triangle(an asterism consisting of the bright stars Deneb, Vega and Altair).Vulpecula is also home to HD 189733 b, one of the closest extrasolar planet currently being studied by the Spitzer Space Telescope. On 12 July 2007 the Financial Times(London) reported that the chemical signature of water vapour was detected in the atmosphere of this planet.
