NGC7000
North America Nebula
NGC7000
is
a large emission nebula covering 2 deg. of field-of-view. Just to the
lower-right is the IC5070 Pelican Nebula that seems to be
studying the map of North America. They are actually
part of
the same region of Ha gas, ionized by a nearby star which
results
in the redish color. The size of the entire region is believed to be
100 light-years, with a distance of 1,800 light-years from
Earth.
North is at the top.
