The Cygnus Loop (radio source W78, or Sharpless 103) is a large supernova remnant (SNR) in the constellation Cygnus, an emission nebula measuring nearly 3° across. [1] Some arcs of the loop, known collectively as the Veil Nebula or Cirrus Nebula, emit in the visible electromagnetic range. [1] Radio, infrared, and X-ray images reveal the ...
The Veil Nebula is a cloud of heated and ionized gas and dust in the constellation Cygnus. [4]It constitutes the visible portions of the Cygnus Loop, [5] a supernova remnant, many portions of which have acquired their own individual names and catalogue identifiers.

NGC 6826 (also known as Caldwell 15) is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Cygnus. It is commonly referred to as the "Blinking Planetary", although many other nebulae exhibit such "blinking". When viewed through a small telescope, the brightness of the central star overwhelms the eye when viewed directly, obscuring the surrounding ...

NGC 7027, also known as the Jewel Bug Nebula or the Magic Carpet Nebula, [6] is a very young and dense planetary nebula [7] located around 3,000 light-years (920 parsecs) from Earth in the constellation Cygnus.
V1057 Cygni is a suspected binary star [8] system in the northern constellation of Cygnus. It is a variable star of the FU Orionis-type, and was the second FU Orionis-type variable to be discovered. The system is located at a distance of approximately 3,000 light years from the Sun, [3] in the North America Nebula. [4]
