This looks like…

The North American Nebula (NGC 7000), named for its resemblance to the North American Continent here on Earth, is located in the constellation of Cygnus. The North American nebula is actually superimposed over the band of the Milky Way. That's why the stars appear fairly dense in this image. The nebula itself is a fairly large object in the night sky, almost 2 full degrees of arc (as a comparison the full moon in the sky is about 1/2 degree of arc). This particular nebula measures about 60 light years across and is about 1500 light years from the Earth. It is still unknown which stars or star illuminates this nebula.

Fantasy-like sculpture

Few regions of nebulosity show the variety of color and detail that this small region around NGC 6559 does. At the top of this image wispy dark clouds hang delicately in the foreground of diffuse glowing hydrogen gas. These lead further down towards a very bright, red arc of gas that seems to shield luminous and hot stars beneath it. Presumably the birth and subsequent energetic radioactive output of these stars causes the gas to glow very brightly. Even though these stars have strived to push away all of the gas and dust near them; thicker portions remain (the mountains of dark nebulosity) and continue to scatter light which color the area with hints of blue and purple. NGC 6559 can be found in most wide field images of the Lagoon Nebula.

February 24 Rolando Ligustri of the Circle AStrofili Talmassons in Udine, Italy, took this picture of Ikeya-Zhang on Feb. 24, 2002. It is a combination of three 1-minute exposures.

Comet Ikeya-Zhang

Michael Jäger of Austria captured Ikeya-Zhang on March 3, 2002 in a composite of two 4-minute exposures. He estimated the tail was more than 5 degrees long.

Eye of the Wolf

The Retina Nebula of the Southern sky’s Lupus constellation peers at Hubble’s Wide Field Planetary Camera. All that remains of this dying star are dense columns of dust, and a striking iris of green (hydrogen), blue (oxygen), and red (nitrogen).

A Great Unraveling A small, blue galaxy pierces a spiral galaxy In the Draco constellation. The collision distorts the two, and unwinds a tail of gas, dust, and stars 280,000 light-years long. Click to enlarge.

Crowning Moment As if to don a crown of heavenly jewels, the Cone Nebula rises 7 light-years into the Monoceros constellation. The column is destined to evolve into countless stars, and perhaps even generate some planets.

A Bird’s Wing Within the feathery nest of the Swan Nebula, gigantic stars 30 times the size of our Sun irradiate clouds of dust and gas, zapping a pocket of sulfur into a blushing hue.

Peer Pressure Between constellations Leo and Virgo, two galaxies slowly become one. Hubble found a hot, blue zone of star formation in the left-hand galaxy, caused by an ever-increasing storm of gravity from the other.

Quad Squad

Four galaxies collide one billion light-years away in an orgy of star birth and death. Sun-like stars are forming twice as fast in this ultraluminous infrared galaxy than in the Milky Way.

Do the Strand In our neighboring Magellanic Cloud galaxy, powerful stars blow a burning, nebulous breeze 160,000 light-years into the cosmos. The star illuminating this scene is unusually hot, and nearly 10 times brighter than the Sun.

Red Tide Charged particles blowing off the young star LL Ori plow into the white-hot Orion Nebula. The red, crescent shaped structure is 1,500 light years from Earth and called a bow shock, after the wave a ship carves into the sea.

Mixed-Up Metronome The arms of most spiral galaxies trail behind their direction of rotation, but the eccentric galaxy NGC 4622 rotates in the direction its arms are pointed. A collision with a smaller galaxy likely caused the unique orientation.

Valentine Redesign This dark heart of stardust, named Thackeray’s globules, is fifteen times denser than the Sun, but will eventually crumble under the intense radiation from nearby massive stars in constellation Centaurus.

Campfire of the Cosmos

A dense cluster of several dozen young stars alight a plume of smoky nebulosity 200 light-years high. The stars’ bright light is equivalent to 100,000 Suns, making it impossible for Hubble to resolve them individually.
