Description

The complex of reflection nebulae lies some 6,000 light-years away, toward the northern constellation Cygnus and the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy. Ultraviolet radiation from the massive, hot, young stars of the extensive Cygnus complex ionize the region's hydrogen gas, producing the characteristic red glow.
