Based on the method of comparing the elements of stars immersed in nebulae by observation at multiple wavelengths, the position and distance of several observable H II regions in the constellation Cygnus could be mapped with a fair degree of accuracy; one such study found that many of the star-forming areas belonging to the Cygnus X complex ...
Messier 39 or M39, also known as NGC 7092, is an open cluster of stars in the constellation of Cygnus, sometimes referred to as the Pyramid Cluster.It is positioned two degrees south of the star Pi Cygni [7] and around 9° east-northeast of Deneb. [8]
Cygnus is a northern constellation on the plane of the Milky Way, deriving its name from the Latinized Greek word for swan. [1] Cygnus is one of the most recognizable constellations of the northern summer and autumn, and it features a prominent asterism known as the Northern Cross (in contrast to the Southern Cross ).
61 Cygni / ˈ s ɪ ɡ n i / is a binary star system in the constellation Cygnus, consisting of a pair of K-type dwarf stars that orbit each other in a period of about 659 years. Of apparent magnitude 5.20 and 6.05, respectively, they can be seen with binoculars in city skies or with the naked eye in rural areas without light pollution.
The North America Nebula (NGC 7000 or Caldwell 20) is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, close to Deneb (the tail of the swan and its brightest star). It is named because its shape resembles North America.
The Veil Nebula is a cloud of heated and ionized gas and dust in the constellation Cygnus. [4]It constitutes the visible portions of the Cygnus Loop, [5] a supernova remnant, many portions of which have acquired their own individual names and catalogue identifiers.
NGC 6826 (also known as Caldwell 15) is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Cygnus. It is commonly referred to as the "Blinking Planetary", although many other nebulae exhibit such "blinking". When viewed through a small telescope, the brightness of the central star overwhelms the eye when viewed directly, obscuring the surrounding ...
The Pelican Nebula (also known as IC 5070 [1]) is an H II region associated with the North America Nebula in the constellation Cygnus. The gaseous contortions of this emission nebula bear a resemblance to a pelican , giving rise to its name. [ 1 ]
