Optical image of the North America nebula
North America nebula. True-colour optical image of the North America nebula (NGC 7000). This large nebula is about 3000 light years away, and lies in the constellation Cygnus. It is composed mainly of hydrogen gas, which glows due to ionisation by radiation from a young, hot and massive star at the nebulas heart. Hot massive stars live for a relatively short time, so such nebulae are usually of recent origin. The North America nebula is believed to be around 10 million years old. To the right of this nebula is part of the Pelican nebula (IC 5067-5070). This image was produced by digitally combining photographs taken by the Palomar Schmidt Telescope in blue and red light

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the awe-inspiring beauty of the North America nebula, also known as NGC 7000. Located approximately 3000 light years away in the constellation Cygnus, this vast nebula is a true marvel of our universe. Composed mainly of hydrogen gas, it illuminates with an ethereal glow due to ionization caused by radiation from a young, hot, and massive star at its core. The North America nebula's existence is relatively recent, as it is believed to be around 10 million years old. This image showcases its intricate details alongside a portion of the Pelican nebula (IC 5067-5070) on the right side. The Palomar Schmidt Telescope captured this breathtaking sight by digitally combining photographs taken in blue and red light. As we gaze upon this celestial masterpiece, we are reminded of the continuous cycle of stellar formation and birth that shapes our cosmos. Hot massive stars like those found within these nebulas live for only a short time before their explosive demise. Their radiant energy fuels the creation and evolution of such cosmic wonders. This print serves as both a testament to human curiosity about our universe and a reminder of its infinite complexity. It invites us to contemplate our place within this grand tapestry while appreciating the sheer magnificence that lies beyond our earthly realm.
