At the estimated distance of 2400 light-years, the nebula has a radius of 65 light-years (a diameter of 130 light-years). The thickness of each filament is 1 ⁄ 50,000 th of the radius, or about 4 billion miles, roughly the distance from Earth to Pluto. Undulations in the surface of the shell lead to multiple filamentary images, which appear ...
This GALEX image of the Cygnus Loop nebula could not have been taken from the surface of the Earth because the ozone layer blocks the ultra-violet radiation emitted by the nebula. The Cygnus Loop (radio source W78, or Sharpless 103) is a large supernova remnant (SNR) in the constellation Cygnus, an emission nebula measuring nearly 3° across. [1]
Image of the Cygnus complex at various wavelengths: top in visible light, middle in infrared, and bottom in radio waves (0.4 GHz). As the site of important dynamical and perturbative phenomena, such as star formation, the region of the Cygnus complex is well evident, and more so than in visible light, to radio waves and X-rays.
Sh 2-101, at least in the field seen from Earth, is in close proximity to microquasar Cygnus X-1, site of one of the first suspected black holes. Cygnus X-1 is located about 15 ′ west of Sh 2-101. The companion star of Cygnus X-1 is a spectral class O9.7 Iab supergiant with a mass of 21 solar masses and 20 times the radius of the Sun.
Crescent Nebula (Caldwell27) captured by David Rousseau from an urban location in Québec, Canada using Ha and OIII narrowband filters. The Crescent Nebula (also known as NGC 6888, Caldwell 27, Sharpless 105) is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, about 5000 light-years away from Earth. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1792. [2]
By Will Dunham. WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The solar wind is a ubiquitous feature of our solar system. This relentless high-speed flow of charged particles from the sun fills interplanetary space.
M1-92 (Minkowski 92), also known as Minkowski’s Footprint or the Footprint Nebula, is a bipolar protoplanetary nebula in the constellation of Cygnus. It is a type of reflection nebula , visible only by light reflected from the central star.
Michael Bloxton, co-founder and CEO of Nebula Enterprise, on Monday said Northeast Pennsylvania represents a community ready, willing and able to make itself the center of the quantum supply chain ...
