The North America Nebula (NGC 7000) & The Pelican Nebula (IC 5070)

Located in the constellation Cygnus, the North America Nebula is a vast emission nebula about 2,500 light-years from Earth. Its glowing clouds of hydrogen gas and dark dust lanes strikingly resemble the shape of the North American continent, giving it its name. Stretching across an area larger than the full Moon in our sky, this stellar nursery is home to regions of active star formation,.
