“Cygnus: Bubble and Crescent” is copyrighted by Abdullah Al-Harbi. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteTwo stellar death clouds drift through the constellation Cygnus. The Soap Bubble Nebula, on the lower left, and the Crescent Nebula, on the upper right, are both formed from the final phases of a star's life. The Crescent Nebula, also known as NGC 6888, was shaped by the strong stellar wind from its central Wolf-Rayet star. These clouds represent the recycling of material back into the Milky Way, enriching it for future star formation.
