Explanation: Supergiant star Gamma Cygni is at the center of the Northern Cross. Near the plane of our Milky Way galaxy, that famous asterism flies high in northern summer night skies in the constellation Cygnus the Swan. Known by the proper name Sadr, Gamma Cygni also lies just below center in this telescopic skyscape, with colors mapped from both broadband and narrowband image data. The field of view spans about 3 degrees (six Full Moons) on the sky and includes emission nebula IC 1318 and open star cluster NGC 6910. Filling the upper part of the frame and shaped like two glowing cosmic wings divided by a long dark dust lane, IC 1318's popular name is understandably the Butterfly Nebula. Right of Gamma Cygni, are the young, still tightly grouped stars of NGC 6910. The distance to Gamma Cygni is around 560 parsecs or 1,800 light-years. Estimates for IC 1318 and NGC 6910 range from 2,000 to 5,000 light-years.

Cygnus Without Stars : The sky is filled with faintly glowing gas, though it can take a sensitive camera and telescope to see it. For example, this twelve-degree-wide view of the northern part of the constellation Cygnus reveals a complex array of cosmic clouds of gas along the plane of our Milky Way galaxy. The featured mosaic of telescopic images was recorded through two filters: an H-alpha filter that transmits only visible red light from glowing hydrogen atoms, and a blue filter that transmits primarily light emitted by the slight amount of energized oxygen. Therefore, in this 18-hour exposure image, blue areas are hotter than red. Further digital processing has removed the myriad of point-like Milky Way stars from the scene. Recognizable bright nebulas include NGC 7000 (North America Nebula), and IC 5070 (Pelican Nebula) on the left with IC 1318 (Butterfly Nebula) and NGC 6888 (Crescent Nebula) on the right -- but others can be found throughout the wide field. via NASA

Yıldızsız Kuğu

Görsel & Telif: Bowen James Cameron

Gökyüzü hafifçe ışıldayan gazla dolu, ama görmek için hassas bir kamera ve teleskop gerekebilir. Örneğin, güney takımyıldızı Kuğu’nun (Cygnus) kuzey bölümünün 12 derece genişlikteki bu görüntüsü, Samanyolu’nun düzlemi üzerindeki karmaşık bir kozmik bulut ve gaz çeşitliliğini ortaya çıkarıyor. Teleskobik görüntülerin bu mozaiği iki filtre aracılığıyla yakalandı: yalnızca parıldayan hidrojen atomlarının görünür kırmızı ışığını geçiren bir H-alfa filtre ve az miktarda enerjik oksijen tarafından yayınlanan ışığı geçiren bir mavi filtre. O yüzden bu 18 saatlik poz süresine sahip görüntüde mavi bölgeler kırmızı olanlardan daha sıcak. Daha ileri dijital işlemeyle, çok sayıda nokta benzeri Samanyolu yıldızı da sahneden çıkarıldı. Fark edilebilen parlak nebulalar arasında, soldaki NGC 7000 (Kuzey Amerika Nebulası) ve IC 5070 (Pelikan Nebulası) ile sağdaki IC 1318 (Kelebek Nebulası) ve NGC 6888 (Hilal Nebula) var. Ama bu geniş alanda başka nebulalar da bulunabilir.

(NASA)  Central Cygnus Skyscape

Image Credit & Copyright: Robert Gendler, DSS, BYU

In cosmic brush strokes of glowing hydrogen gas, this beautiful skyscape unfolds across the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy near the northern end of the Great Rift and the center of the constellation Cygnus the Swan. A 36 panel mosaic of telescopic image data, the scene spans about six degrees. Bright supergiant star Gamma Cygni (Sadr) to the upper left of the image center lies in the foreground of the complex gas and dust clouds and crowded star fields. Left of Gamma Cygni, shaped like two luminous wings divided by a long dark dust lane is IC 1318 whose popular name is understandably the Butterfly Nebula. The more compact, bright nebula at the lower right is NGC 6888, the Crescent Nebula. Some distance estimates for Gamma Cygni place it at around 1,800 light-years while estimates for IC 1318 and NGC 6888 range from 2,000 to 5,000 light-years.

La estrella supergigante Gamma Cygni está en el centro de la Cruz del Norte. Cercano al plano de nuestra galaxia Vía Láctea, ese famoso asterismo vuela alto en los cielos nocturnos del verano boreal en la constelación de Cygnus, el Cisne. Conocida con el nombre propio de Sadr, Gamma Cygni también se encuentra justo debajo del centro en este paisaje celeste telescópico, con colores mapeados a partir de datos de imagen tanto de banda ancha como angosta. El campo de visión abarca casi 3 grados (seis Lunas llenas) en el cielo e incluye a la nebulosa de emisión IC 1318 y al cúmulo estelar abierto NGC 6910. Llenando la parte superior del encuadre, y con la forma de dos alas cósmicas resplandecientes divididas por una larga franja de polvo oscuro, el nombre popular de IC 1318 es la Nebulosa Mariposa, comprensiblemente. A la derecha de Gamma Cygni, están las estrellas jóvenes y todavía agrupadas de modo compacto de NGC 6910. La distancia a Gamma Cygni es de alrededor de 560 parsecs o 1,800 años luz. Las distancias estimadas para IC 1318 y NGC 6910 varían entre los 2,000 a 5,000 años luz.

Central Cygnus Skyscape

Supergiant star Gamma Cygni lies at the center of the Northern Cross, famous asterism in the constellation Cygnus the Swan. Known by its proper name, Sadr, the bright star also lies at the center of this gorgeous skyscape, featuring a complex of stars, dust clouds, and glowing nebulae along the plane of our Milky Way galaxy. The field of view spans almost 4 degrees (eight Full Moons) on the sky and includes emission nebula IC 1318 and open star cluster NGC 6910. Left of Gamma Cygni and shaped like two glowing cosmic wings divided by a long dark dust lane, IC 1318's popular name is understandably the Butterfly Nebula. Above and left of Gamma Cygni, are the young, still tightly grouped stars of NGC 6910. Some distance estimates for Gamma Cygni place it at around 1,800 light-years while estimates for IC 1318 and NGC 6910 range from 2,000 to 5,000 light-years.

MERKEZİ KUĞU GÖK MANZARASI Takımyıldız Kuğu’daki (Cygnus) ünlü asterizm Kuzey Haçı’nın merkezinde, süperdev yıldız Gama Cygni yer alıyor. Özel adıyla Sadr olarak bilinen parlak yıldız aynı zamanda, bir yıldız bloğu, toz bulutları ve Samanyolu’nun düzlemi boyunca ışıldayan nebulalar içeren bu muhteşem gök manzarasının da merkezinde duruyor. Görüş alanı gökyüzünde neredeyse 4 derece (sekiz Dolunay) boyunca uzanıyor ve emisyon nebulası IC 1318 ile açık yıldız kümesi NGC 6910’u içeriyor. Gama Cygni’nin solunda bulunan ve uzun bir karanlık toz şeridiyle ayrılmış iki parlak kozmik kanada benzeyen IC 1318’in popüler ismi anlaşılabilir şekilde Kelebek Nebulası. Gama Cygni’nin sol üstündekilerse NGC 6910’un hala sıkışık biçimde gruplaşmış genç yıldızları. Gama Cygni için bazı mesafe tahminleri 1,800 ışık yılı civarındayken IC 1318 ve NGC 6910 için tahminler 2,000 ışık yılı ve 5,000 ışık yılı arasında değişiyor.
