Description

On the left, bright emission outlined by dark, obscuring dust lanes traces a continental shape to form the North America Nebula (NGC 7000). To the right off the east coast is the Pelican Nebula (IC 5070). These two bright nebulae are about 1,500 light years away and span 150 light years, large enough to see in binoculars from a dark location.
