At present, having passed 18h right ascension some 2,500 years ago, the complex tends to assume increasingly northern declinations. When, about 11,000 years from now, the complex is at six h right ascension, it will reach its northernmost point: at that time, it will be, as seen in the image opposite, a few degrees from the celestial north pole.
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]
NGC 7027, also known as the Jewel Bug Nebula or the Magic Carpet Nebula, [6] is a very young and dense planetary nebula [7] located around 3,000 light-years (920 parsecs) from Earth in the constellation Cygnus.
Christian Ludwig Ideler traced it to the heading for the constellation we call Cygnus in Ptolemy's star catalog, in the translation of the Almagest by Gerard of Cremona: "Stellatio Eurisim: et est volans; et jam vocatur gallina. et dicitur eurisim quasi redolens ut lilium ab ireo" ("Constellation Eurisim: and it is the Flyer, and it is also ...
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 ).
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 ...
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. The cluster is also known as Collinder 470. [4]
Kepler-47 is a binary star system in the constellation Cygnus located about 3,420 light-years (1,050 parsecs) away from Earth.The stars have three exoplanets, all of which orbit both stars at the same time, making this a circumbinary system.
