Description

IC 1318, the Gamma Cygni Nebula, in the region near Sadr, is a celestial object that lies in the heart of the Cygnus constellation. The nebula seems to be around the star Gamma Cygni, or Sadr (meaning “chest” in Arabic), at the center of the Swan (or Cygnus) constellation. The first documented observation was on a night around 1894, at the Lick Observatory, by the astronomer Edward Emerson Barnard during a photographic survey of the Milky Way
