“A Radio Vista of Cygnus” is copyrighted by Jayanne English. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis radio image provides a tremendous vista toward the constellation of Cygnus, covering about 10 degrees across the sky. It highlights shells of ancient supernovas, cocoons surrounding newborn stars, and distant quasars. This is a small part of the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey. Diffuse bands of ionized gas flow through a dominating region of star formation, located about 6000 light-years away. Two prominent supernova shells, including the brown globule, are visible.
