Description

The Cygnus Wall Nebula is part of the North America Nebula (NGC 7000), which is between 1,500 and 3,000 light-years away from our Milky Way galaxy in the constellation Cygnus (the Swan). If the North America Nebula were an actual continent, The Cygnus Wall would be Central America and Mexico. This is an area of gas, dust and new star formations.
