Pelican Nebula (IC5070) taken from Leeds UK by amateur astro-photographer urmymuse. 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]
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. The molecular cloud has a large angular size of ~4° × 7°. [3]
The portion of the nebula resembling Mexico and Central America is known as the Cygnus Wall. This region exhibits the most concentrated star formation. [9] At optical wavelengths, the North America Nebula and the Pelican Nebula (IC 5070) appear distinct as they are separated by the silhouette of the dark band of interstellar dust L935. The dark ...
UGC 11597, PGC 65001, Arp 29, [1] Caldwell 12 NGC 6946 , sometimes referred to as the Fireworks Galaxy , is a face-on intermediate spiral galaxy with a small bright nucleus, whose location in the sky straddles the boundary between the northern constellations of Cepheus and Cygnus .
The linear diameter was estimated at only 11 light years. Its Trumpler class is III,3,p,n (as it is associated with nebulosity), although Götz gives, differently, II,3,m, and Kepple gives I,2,m,n. [8] The Sky Catalogue lists it with 50 member stars; [6] earlier Becvar estimated 20 members.
Rogelio Bernal Andreo (born 9 January 1969) is a Spanish-American astrophotographer.He is known for his photographs of deep sky objects.His work has been recognized by NASA as a regular contributor to their Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) [1] 80 times.
The Abell catalogue is a catalogue of approximately 4,000 galaxy clusters with at least 30 members, almost complete to a redshift of z = 0.2. It was originally compiled by the American astronomer George O. Abell in 1958 using plates from POSS , and extended to the southern hemisphere by Abell, Corwin and Olowin in 1987.
[8] NGC 602 contains three main condensations of stars. The central core is NGC 602a, with the compact NGC 602b 100 arc-seconds to the NNW. NGC 602c is a looser grouping 11 arc-minutes to the NE, which includes the WO star AB8. [9] NGC 602 includes many young O and B stars and young stellar objects, with few evolved stars. [10]
