"Lyra" in the sky refers to the constellation Lyra. It's a small but prominent constellation in the Northern Hemisphere, easily recognizable by its brightest star, Vega.

Lyra is not a galaxy. It is a constellation, which is a group of stars that appear close together from Earth, but are not actually physically close to each other.

Vega, the brightest star in Lyra, is part of our own galaxy, the Milky Way. All the stars visible to the naked eye, including those in Lyra, are part of the Milky Way galaxy.

Here's a breakdown:

* Constellation Lyra: A group of stars that form a pattern in the sky, easily recognizable from Earth.

* Vega: The brightest star in Lyra, and a member of our Milky Way galaxy.

* Milky Way galaxy: A vast collection of stars, gas, and dust that includes our solar system and all the stars we can see without a telescope.
