The Great Rift covers one third of the Milky Way, and is flanked by strips of numerous stars, such as the Cygnus Star Cloud. [2] West of the Cepheus Clouds, the Funnel cloud/Le Gentil 3 and the bordering North America Nebula, the Great Rift starts with the Northern Coalsack at the constellation of Cygnus, where it is known as the Cygnus Rift. [3]
Its molecular clouds form the Cygnus Rift dark nebula constellation, comprising one end of the Great Rift along the Milky Way's galactic plane. The rift begins around the Northern Coalsack , and partially obscures the larger Cygnus molecular cloud complex behind it, which the North America Nebula is part of.
Cygnus-X is a massive star formation region located in the constellation of Cygnus at a distance from the Sun of 1.4 kiloparsecs (4,600 light years). As it is located behind the Cygnus Rift and its light is heavily absorbed by the Milky Way 's interstellar dust , it is better studied in other wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum that ...
Cygnus OB2 is an OB association that is home to some of the most massive and most luminous stars known, including suspected Luminous blue variable Cyg OB2 #12. It also includes one of the largest known stars , NML Cygni . [ 3 ]
The next album, Within the Cygnus Rift, was released on July 27, 2015. [2] Precession of the Equinoxes, their third album, was released on July 17, 2017. [3] [4]
Cygnus OB7 is an OB association in the giant Cygnus molecular cloud complex, which also contains the star-forming regions Cygnus X, the North America Nebula and the Pelican Nebula. The Northern Coalsack Nebula of the Cygnus Rift lies in the foreground of this region.
IC 5146 (also Caldwell 19, Sh 2-125, Barnard 168, and the Cocoon Nebula) is a reflection [2] /emission [3] nebula and Caldwell object in the constellation Cygnus.The NGC description refers to IC 5146 as a cluster of 9.5 mag stars involved in a bright and dark nebula.
Cygnus OB9 is an OB association in Cygnus. [2] It is near to the Cygnus OB2 association. The region is embedded within a wider one of star formation known as Cygnus X, which is one of the most luminous objects in the sky at radio wavelengths. The region is approximately 5000 light years from Earth in the constellation of Cygnus. [3]
