Milky Way in Cygnus

Milky Way. Optical image of the Milky Way in the constellation Cygnus, the swan. North is at top. The bright star at upper left is Deneb (Alpha Cygni). To its left is the North America nebula (NGC 7000), an emission nebula which glows red due to ionisation of the hydrogen gas it contains by radiation from hot stars. The three bright stars forming the wings of the swan are seen running from lower left to upper right. They are Gienah (Epsilon Cygni), Sahr (Gamma Cygni) and Delta Cygni. The Milky Way is the band of light crossing the sky formed from the millions of stars in the disc of our galaxy. This constellation is best seen in the summer in the northern hemisphere

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the awe-inspiring beauty of the Milky Way in the constellation Cygnus, also known as the swan. With its northward orientation at the top, this optical image showcases a celestial masterpiece. At the upper left corner shines Deneb, a brilliant star known as Alpha Cygni. Adjacent to it lies the North America nebula (NGC 7000), an emission nebula that emanates a mesmerizing red glow due to hydrogen gas ionization caused by radiation from scorching stars. The wings of this cosmic swan are formed by three prominent stars stretching diagonally from lower left to upper right: Gienah (Epsilon Cygni), Sahr (Gamma Cygni), and Delta Cygni. The Milky Way itself graces our view as a luminous band traversing across the sky, composed of countless stars residing within our galaxy's disc. To fully appreciate this constellation's splendor, one must gaze upon it during summer nights in the northern hemisphere. This scene evokes wonder and curiosity about our place in this vast universe. Captured with precision and artistry by Science Photo Library, this print serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with astronomy and cosmology—a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic appreciation for nature's wonders above us.
